Fire: Current fire acreage is 132,069, which is unchanged from yesterday. Current containment is 92%. Direct
attack continues, and no firing operations are planned.
Air Quality Today: Gusty northwest
winds will continue along with cooler temperatures and better moisture to
help mitigate smoke impacts. These conditions will reduce the smoldering of
interior fire activity and will assist in limiting extended smoke impacts to
the greater Soberanes fire area. Brief periods of moderate quality air will
be possible around the Pacific Grove community and the communities of the
Salinas Valley in the morning and nighttime.
Air Quality Tomorrow: Another day of gusty northwest winds,
cooler temperatures, and higher humidity. This is likely to restrict smoke impacts
for the area, with sporadic periods of moderate air quality in the morning
and nighttime hours.
