Anyone know what's going on with the air in Washington? (lemmy.zip)

The air quality in Portland was finally improving but what's going on across the river?

My guess is wildfire smoke and just the way the air currents are working. You can see the bad air blowing into Oregon East of Gresham.

Yeah. The only thing I can figure is that it is blowing west from Camp Creek Fire in Bull Run.

Here is a map showing the direction of the wind.

Wow! This is cool. Bookmarked!

I should have switched it to particulates mode so you can actually see where all the smoke is coming from. If you zoom out you can see just how bad it is in Canada right now.

I prefer the one at firesmoke.ca. it's easier to view the smoke trends specifically.
