AREAS AFFECTED : SAN RAFAEL SWELL; SOUTH CENTRAL UTAH; CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK AND VICINITY; WESTERN CANYONLANDS; GLEN CANYON RECREATION AREA/LAKE POWELL
Heavy wildfire smoke from fires in northern Arizona will continue
to bring significant near surface smoke into portions of the Grand
Staircase, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area/Lake Powell,
portions of Capitol Reef National Park, the San Rafael Swell and
western Canyonlands through at least Monday morning.
This heavy smoke may reduce visibility to or below 2 miles at
times on area roadways as well as on Lake Powell. The U.S.
Interagency Wildland Fire Air Quality Response Program air
quality forecast suggests air quality will fall to unhealthy for
sensitive groups to very unhealthy for all groups at times through
the afternoon into the overnight hours especially across eastern
portions of the Grand Staircase and Glen Canyon/Lake Powell. When
conditions reach these levels, everyone should consider avoiding
outdoor physical activity.
