Smoke from Pacific Northwest Fires

August 28, 2015 - Hazy conditions have become more prevalent in Western South Dakota and Northeastern Wyoming as northwesterly winds aloft have helped push smoke into the area from wildland fires in the Pacific Northwest. Hazy conditions will be possible on and off through September. On Saturday, winds aloft will begin to become more southwesterly, helping to diminish the smokey conditions by Sunday.
