October 14, 2020 - The U.S. Forest Service reports smoke and air quality outlook for the San Joaquin-Yosemite areas, due to the Creek Fire.

Fire: Active fire continued near Rattlesnake Lake and within the fire perimeter. A warming trend with temperatures and lower RHs will increase activity and smoke production today through Friday.

Smoke:  This afternoon, high pressure settling in over the Great Basin will bring shifting winds, providing much needed relief to the east side of the Sierra Crest, including Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, and Bishop by this afternoon. However, this will limit smoke ventilation and increase concentrations to the west of the fire. Areas immediately west and south of the fire will see heaviest impacts, such as North Fork, Prather, and building into Oakhurst by afternoon. Smoke will increase during the evening and overnight hours in foothills locations starting from south to north, with heavy impacts to Ponderosa Basin, Mariposa, Wawona, and El Portal by tomorrow morning. Overall, concentrations west and south of the fire will build over the next 24-48 hours until the weather pattern shifts.
