Haze, moderate air quality concerns as central WA wildfire smoke blows in
SEATTLE FORECAST: Morning Low: 48
Afternoon High: 71
Smoke from central Washington wildfires has been pushed westward, with most of the smoke elevated a few thousand feet off the surface.
However, some of the smoke is mixing down to the surface with daytime heating and effects of wind blowing moderate smoke down the Cascades passes and gaps.
Air quality was good to moderate in many areas Monday night, though it was moderate to unhealthy-for-some category in north and east King and parts of inland Pierce County. East of the Cascades, unhealthy air quality will remain through Tuesday.
The hazy skies west of the mountains will continue into Tuesday, though air flow will turn onshore later in the day, and air quality issues will cease. Highs on Tuesday will be in the 60s to low 70s after morning lows in the 40s.
