Shasta-Trinity & Six Rivers Fire Complexes Mike Broughton and Greg Hosburg

Forecast conditions represent impacts from smoke. Contributions from ozone and other pollutants are not reflected.

Smoke Synopsis: 0930 Morning version
Rain arrived early this morning over most of the fires, although those to the south received much less than up in Del Norte County, which as expected received over an inch in some locations. The rain and wind cleared smoke out of most of the surrounding areas, with the big question now being, how much will the fires put up today? Regardless, the whole of NW California will experience good dispersion today and tomorrow. Depending on which fires become active following the moist and breezy conditions this morning and afternoon, some locations may experience smoky conditions for a short time. Sunday, light smoke can be expected to move into the broad valleys of north-central California, although no poor air quality levels are anticipated.
