The smoke today is primarily coming from several active wildfires in Washington state, including the Bear Gulch Fire, Lower Sugarloaf Fire, and Labor Mountain Fire in Central Washington, as well as the Lynx Mountain Fire in Northeast Washington. These fires have grown significantly due to warm, dry conditions and are producing substantial smoke plumes affecting local air quality, including areas like Entiat, Plain, Cle Elum, and Inchelium. Additionally, smoke from fires in Oregon and northern California continues to impact parts of western Josephine County and nearby regions. The smoke is transported by winds and is causing local and regional air quality impacts.
