October 26, 2020 - The U.S. Forest Service reports smoke and air quality outlook for the San Joaquin-Yosemite areas, due to the Creek Fire.

Fire: Greatest fire activity is still in the northeastern part of the fire. Increased smoke production is expected in the southwestern part of the fire where fire activity increased due to the frontal passage and Mono Winds. Fire information can be found at: inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7147/

Smoke: The region is getting much needed relief from smoke. Gusty winds have moved persistent smoke out of the area. As these winds will continue throughout today and tomorrow, any new smoke production will be dispersed and diluted. This will prevent accumulation and build up of smoke for the next two days. Overall, expect Good to Moderate conditions across the entire forecast area. Visible smoke plumes are possible as gusty winds push the fire back onto itself, allowing consumption of any unburn fuels that remain within the fire perimeter. Persist winds will prevent strong inversions and smoke levels will remain moderated until Wednesday afternoon.
