Fire

As fuels continue drying, fires are getting more active, especially in the afternoon. Yesterday most activity was interior to lines with under 1000 acres of growth on River, but lots of smoldering and smoke production. Antelope produced less smoke, with ~1300 acres in lighter fuels. Today, slightly warmer and more active behavior under slightly stronger NW winds. (See: inciweb.nwcg.gov/ for latest details).

Smoke

Light, terrain-driven winds yesterday and overnight will likely give way this afternoon to more organized NW flow in the vicinity of both fire areas. Oregon and far NE California should continue to see Moderate/USG impacts, but increasing fire activity and smoke production could again bring afternoon/evening USG/Unhealthy SE of the fires in the Interstate 5 and Hwy 3 corridors.
