Smoke has already drifted to South Lake Tahoe, where air quality is considered “hazardous to unhealthy” on Sunday afternoon.
“We don't expect air quality to be unhealthy, but we do expect smoky, hazy skies and potentially higher levels of smoke at higher elevations,” Kristine Roselius, a spokesperson for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, told SFGATE on Sunday. “If you’re on Mount Tam, for instance, you may have unhealthier smoke levels at that elevation.
That smoke has already drifted nearly 200 miles north to South Lake Tahoe, where air quality was considered “hazardous to unhealthy” on Sunday afternoon, the Tahoe Daily Tribune. “High concentrations of near-surface smoke” were also visible from the Eastern Sierra to Southern Douglas County, the outlet said.
Roselius predicts the smoke will impact the East and North bays first before lingering over the rest of the Bay Area. She also noted that while the smoke is expected to remain aloft — “not where we live and breathe” — residents should go inside if they see or smell it, and keep windows and doors closed if temperatures allow.will arrive over portions of the Bay Area beginning tomorrow morning. At this time, smoke is anticipated to remain aloft rather than near the surface.
