Smoky Skies — But No Local Fires

07/10/25, 2:09 PM

If you’re noticing smoky skies and the smell of smoke in the air, you’re not alone.

The smoke we’re experiencing is drifting in from wildfires burning to the south and west of us. Depending on wind patterns, smoke may continue to move through our region over the next few days. There are no active wildfires in our immediate area.

You can view a current smoke plume map from NOAA at https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/land/hms.html#maps

If you’re sensitive to smoke, we encourage you to take the following precautions:

• Stay indoors when possible

• Use air purifiers or filters

• Limit outdoor activity

We’re continuing to monitor conditions and will share updates if anything changes. In the meantime, stay safe and take care of yourself and your neighbors.
