Oregon wildfire resulting in smoky skies through Labor Day

Smokey skies continue for Labor day
Posted

The heat has returned to Idaho, and unfortunately, it came back with haze. Temperatures will stay consistent through the holiday, but when will that September cool down arrive?

The Treasure Valley got back into the 90s and will stay there through the work week. Magic Valley will touch 90° and stay near with upper 80s. All of this comes along with smoke as late-season wildfires burn in Oregon.

The Emigrant Fire south of Bend, Oregon, is sitting just under 20,000 acres and is the main cause for the poor air quality in the Gem State.

This wildfire will impact a majority of Idaho, at least through tomorrow.

Temperatures look to come down a bit into next weekend, so keep an eye out for a chance at 80s for the valley floors. Have a great rest of your weekend!
