Special Statement
This forecast is focused on smoke behavior in and around Yosemite National Park. The forecast reflects Particulate Matter - not Ozone.
Fire
The Ferguson fire is now 96,810 acres with containment at 87%. Fuel in the interior of the fire has been mostly consumed. Crews are continuing to secure the perimeter in one small area near Turtleback Dome, otherwise working on mop-up and repair operations.
Smoke
Smoke from the Ferguson fire will be mostly limited to areas in close proximity to Turtleback Dome. Smoke production in that area could be heavy at times. Smoke will travel toward Yosemite Village and Tuolumne Meadows until early afternoon, then drain back down the Merced this afternoon and evening. Foothill communities may receive smoke from other area fires.
