    Any idea what Winthrop will be like over the Labor Day Holiday weekend (Fri-Mon)?

      Too close to the fires to enjoy Good air for long, sadly. That said, the weather is shaping up to be active and that will prevent smoke from pooling, so air is unlikely to be terrible. Sorry cant get more specific a week ahead

      Active weather expected, meaning no large scale pooling of smoke. Fire activity has taken a hit over the weekend due to cloud cover and modest rain but since fires are very close to the area, dont expect air to be continuously Good throughout the weekend. Not expecting worse than Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, though.
