Smoke Outlook Aug. 10 - Aug. 11, 2023

American Mesa Fire
Publication Type: News 08/12/2023

A classic monsoon pattern more typical of the first half of August will bring increasingly moist, favorable weather conditions and much needed rainfall to active fires within the outlook area through week’s end into early next week. This includes the Black Feather and American Mesa fires. The period from Saturday through Monday looks especially wet with scattered to numerous showers and slow-moving thunderstorms. This multi-day fire-slowing pattern will significantly reduce fire activity and smoke.
