Smoke Forecast, Sept. 9

Sorry to report a smoky forecast will be with us through the weekend, with the Mosquito Fire still growing in size with no containment.

It has jumped the American River, burning around Foresthill and Oxbow Reservoir in Placer and El Dorado counties, just west of Lake Tahoe.

Smoke and haze from the fire will filter into our valleys on and off through the weekend with winds out of the west blowing the smoke to the east.

Look for areas of moderate to unhealthy air quality all weekend, and stay indoors with the AC on if it bothers you.
