Northwest: This morning much of the Northwest has been obscured by cloud cover. It is presumed that smoke is mixed in with the clouds from fires burning in Okanogan and Columbia counties Washington, and central Idaho. Saskatchewan/Alberta: Moderately dense smoke is moving into the southern portion of these provinces likely from last evenings fires in Idaho and western Montana. Oregon: A fire in Grant county is producing locally dense smoke headed due east. California: The continued burning throughout Siskiyou and Trinity counties is producing locally dense smoke in the valleys, becoming thinner as it travels northeast to the Oregon border. MS
