The wind shifted, and voilá, we are all the way into the 4th smoke band! This time, the smoke is from Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Oregon.
The smoke map. The starting URL is https://fire.airnow.gov. Once you let it use your geoloc then it tacks on some internal stuff on it. You can see that all the air quality stations around us are reporting yellow air quality. Once you move out to the level 3 band, they mostly go back to green.
We're actually deeper into band four than we’ve ever been.
Not sure why the Canadian fires aren’t showing smoke plumes in the new version 4 smoke map. This is from https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/#d:24hrs;@-82.3,40.0,4.0z
