September 19, 2020 - The U.S. Forest Service reports smoke and air quality outlook for the San Joaquin-Yosemite areas, due to the Creek Fire.

Fire: A quarter inch of rain dampened the fire activity substantially on the northern portion of the Creek Fire yesterday. That rain was limited to the higher terrain, so fire activity was mainly on the lower, western perimeter of the fire. Today and tomorrow fire activity will likely remain minimal, but may start to increase again if fuels dry out under light, terrain-driven winds.

Smoke: Yesterday, rain cleared much of the smoke out of the area, leading to improved air quality. Today we could see similar air quality, likely in the Unhealthy to Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range. Depending on fire activity, smoke could accumulate to Very Unhealthy this evening and or early morning in the mid-elevation sites near the fire. Mammoth will likely continue to get heavy smoke impacts tonight.

Notes: Outlooks reflect particulate matter from smoke only - not ozone or dust.
