Lots of yellow dots (moderate air quality) in our area as shown on this screenshot of EPA’s Fire and Smoke map. The Canadian wildfire smoke is affecting a large portion of the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Spokane-area, hazy skies will stick around today as a ridge of high-pressure limits ventilation. A welcome change in wind patterns should bring noticeable improvement by Saturday afternoon. The AQI will likely stay in Moderate\/Yellow range today and tomorrow, with a return to AQI-Good\/Green for Sunday and Monday. Current air quality is provided here,<\/a> which is updated hourly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is early in terms of air quality impacts from regional wildfires. Yesterday, Spokane’s AQI reached the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG\/Orange) for one hour at the Turnbull Wildfire Refuge monitoring site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a good nudge to start working on ways to keep your indoor air clean – like changing your furnace\/HVAC system filters. You might consider investing in a portable air cleaner for the room in your home where you spend the most time.
