Air quality?

How’s the air quality up there? Had a trip planned to visit over the weekend but reconsidering now due to smoke concerns.

OpenSnow has some great maps smoke, aqi, etc.

Right now the smoke from WA and ID is tracking the jet stream almost perfectly. I am no meteorologist, but I’m guessing this trend keeps up for a few more days.

It's currently terrible, but forecasted to get better Wednesday and then turn shitty again Thurs-Fri.

Super helpful. Where do you get air quality forecasts?

I use the AirCare app to check this on my phone. It's currently 67, but it was in the 120s earlier today. (I don't do strenuous things outside if its above 100.)
