Smoky skies are expected Monday as a cold front moves through late tonight into tomorrow morning. Wildfire smoke may cause hazy conditions and unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups, but conditions should improve by Tuesday. Limit outdoor activity, keep windows closed, and follow local air quality updates to stay safe.

The combination of continuous drought conditions, gusty northwest winds up to 45 mph, and relative humidity values between 18 to 25 percent will create critical fire weather conditions tomorrow afternoon and into the evening hours. Use caution and be weather aware tomorrow!
