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

Smoke Synopsis: 0945 AM Final
With the exception of a few hours here and there, smoke generally cleared out of many of the deep Trinity Valley locations on Sunday. A general transport flow from the south combined with a coastal onshore push from the west will send smoke up into Siskiyou County and southern Oregon, but slightly more unstable conditions today and Tuesday may allow for clearing conditions during the afternoon. Coastal areas will experience the typical effects of a deep marine layer. The most active fires include the Lassic Fire (Mad River Complex), the Denny and French Creek areas of the River Complex, and the Pattison Fire (South Complex).
