Heading to the Quincy/George area next Wednesday through Labor Day. How is it right now in that area and any expectations for what it might be like during that time?
ReplyDeletePlease see the above map for current conditions. Cannot predict smoke a week out but the area isnt that far downwind of major fires.
DeleteI'm thinking of canoeing this weekend, staying in North Yakima tonight and canoeing from South Ellensburg to North Yakima with young adolescents tomorrow. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteAssume you're asking about smoke exposure: that route shouldnt be too shabby tomorrow but be prepared for some Moderate air quality. Taking N95 masks along would be a wise idea
DeleteThanks! I forgot to mention that we're staying in tents. Would that be possible with/without masks tonight?
DeleteThe mask recommendation was for periods of strenuous outdoor activity. Healthy adults sleeping in tents during Moderate air should not be a big concern. Take precautions if someone has breathing conditions
DeletePlease see the blog entry posted just now
