October 9, 2020 - The U.S. Forest Service reports smoke and air quality outlook for the San Joaquin-Yosemite areas, due to the Creek Fire.

Fire: The Creek fire continues to be most active on the eastern perimeter in the afternoon hours. Moderated fire behavior is expected today due to increased humidity and shading by smoke and high clouds.

Smoke: Widespread smoke impacts continue to affect the San Joaquin foothills, Yosemite Park and the majority of the forecast zone again this morning. In general, air quality should remain in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) to Unhealthy levels in most areas until this afternoon. Afternoon up-slope winds should again bring in some cleaner air, which is expected to improve conditions in the late afternoon/evening for foothill communities (i.e., Millerton to Mariposa) and Yosemite Park. To the east, Mammoth Lakes and Lee Vining are forecast to remain in moderate smoke. Mammoth Lakes may again see a spike to Very Unhealthy in the evening. Stronger southwest winds tomorrow, ahead of a trough moving in, should help improve air quality for the weekend.
