Saturday September 5, 2020 - The #Creekfire Plume is Heading North/Northwest

A new fire, #Creekfire (https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7147/), has exploded to 5000+ acres since this morning, and its plume is spreading heavy smoke to the north/northwest. While much of this smoke has lofted very high, smoke, possibly very dense smoke, may mix down to the surface as the evening progresses (the smoke models and forecasts from this morning would not have included this new smoke source).
