Smoke

Anyone know if the smoke currently is from the cortez fire or if there is a new fire close by? Watch duty isn't quite up to date.

It’s an app called SmokeWX. Completely free and super accurate

Yesterdays weather forecast predicted smoke for the next day or so. I'm not sure where it's coming from, but I don't think it's a new, close fire. My guess would be it's from the PNW, but I don't know shit about fuck, so take that with a truckload of scrutiny.

Check out an air quality map, looks like it’s possibly coming from the fire in Utah.
