This is the prediction for the distribution of wildfire smoke for 6 p.m. MDT July 9, 2018. It is an experimental forecast from NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory.
The scientists expect significant smoke impacts Monday in areas of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
Most of the smoke is coming from the Klamathon Fire on the Oregon/California border and the Martin Fire in Northern Nevada.
This site sucks too. Who wants to see smoke maps of old fires. I would like to see a smoke map of today. What good does it do me to see a smoke map from 20 days ago?

Thanks for providing the updated map. When I looked out this morning I made the comment, “that looks like drift smoke.” I was flying last night in the area just enjoying the evening and thought then that it doesn’t seem as clear tonight as usual. Now I know why.
thanks
