The smoke will likely continue to impact the mid-state overnight…but conditions are expected to improve considerably by Monday morning as winds shift more to the southwest. The smoke could pose some problems for the elderly…young children…active adults…and those with respiratory issues. To minimize health problems…limit your exposure to the smoke or wear a mask if you have to be outside for an extended period of time. read more
