Red Flag Warnings have been issued for Kittitas/Yakima Valleys, Lower Columbia Basin, Eastern Columbia River Gorge, and Warm Springs Reservation from 11AM Friday to 11PM Saturday. Breezy winds will overlap with very dry conditions in these areas.
Smoke from multiple wildfires in Oregon and Washington continues to degrade air quality with air quality alerts (Washington) and air quality advisories (Oregon) in effect until further notice. Smoke can cause irritation to the lungs, mouth, nose, and eyes. Limit prolonged outdoor exertion, especially for sensitive groups.
State and partner agencies will continue to monitor smoke. For the latest air quality information where you live, please visit https://www.airnow.gov/.
Smoke can irritate the eyes and lungs and worsen some medical conditions. People most at risk include infants and young children, people with heart or lung disease, older adults and pregnant people.
Protect yourself and your family when smoke levels are high:
- Stay inside if possible. Keep windows and doors closed. If it’s too hot, run air conditioning on recirculate or consider moving to a cooler location.
- Avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
- Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in indoor ventilation systems or portable air purifiers. Or create your own air purifying filter by following these instructions.
- Be aware of smoke in your area and avoid places with the highest levels.
