October 10, 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 northeastern perimeter in the afternoon hours. Moderated fire behavior is expected today due to increased humidity and cooler temperatures.

Smoke: Lingering moderate to heavy smoke from overnight sits in valleys and basis this morning surrounding the Creek fire. Through the day, southwesterly winds are expected to drift smoke easterly and over the Sierra Crest. This should provide some much anticipated improvement in air quality in the San Joaquin foothills, Yosemite Park and the majority of the forecast zone west of the Sierra Crest. For those to the east in Mammoth Lakes and Lee Vining, smoke is expected to remain heavy, in the Unhealthy range today. Tonight into Sunday, a trough moving through with associated northwesterly winds, will transport remaining smoke southeasterly and continued improvement in air quality should be seen.
