Above is an updated map, at 3 p.m. MT, August 22, 2015, showing the distribution of wildfire smoke across the U.S.

The wildfires in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana are creating a great deal of smoke that is seriously degrading the air quality hundreds of miles away.
For example in southwest South Dakota, 800 miles away from the large fires in Washington, there is a very strong smell of forest fire smoke and the air quality measuring stations are recording an “unhealthy” air quality index.

Superb blog/page! Thank you. Shall share this on my 2000-friends fb page. Very solid info.
I live where you have a green dot and trust me you can’t see a mile!
Are you aware that several Air Resource Advisors have been assigned to the fires around NE Washington and Oregon? I am assigned to the Woverine and Chelan Complex Fires. We have ARA’s coming in to handle the tri-county area out of Spokane and there are additional ARAs working out of Redmond and John Day OR. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more about what we do. Check out our blogs: wasmoke.blogspot.com and oregonsmoke.blogspot.com.
