October 25, 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 northeastern edge of the fire perimeter remains most active. Smoldering and hotspots continue within the interior. A Red Flag warning for the region may increase fire activity, though the winds are expected to push the fire back onto itself. Fire information can be found at: inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7147/
Smoke: As a weather system moves through the region Sunday into Monday, much needed smoke relief is in store. While locations on the west side of the fire perimeter got some relief yesterday, locations on the east side, such as Mammoth Lakes and Bishop, will see cleaner conditions by this evening. With breezy easterly winds throughout Monday, Good to Moderate conditions are expected across the forecast area. Cleaner air will remain during the early part of the week. Smoke concentrations mid-to-late week will depend on fire activity and prevailing winds.
