Smoke Synopsis: 1000 Morning Version
The fires are producing less smoke than in previous days. Stable conditions today will lead to less clearing, increasing concentrations in the deeper valleys, which should clear in the afternoon. The remaining areas will also see clearing in the afternoon. An approaching trough will bring less stability and help clear things up even more over the next couple of days.
