Key Factors
- 01 Persistent smoke throughout the day (visual smoke forecast and daily forecast).
- 02 Very hot conditions (highs near 94°F) with heat index around 96°F, which can affect driver comfort and fatigue.
- 03 Wind generally light to moderate (5–15 mph, gusts up to ~25 mph) which may carry smoke but does not create severe wind hazards.

Recommendation
Safer driving windows: morning 07:00–09:00 and evening 19:00–21:00 local time. If you must drive during peak smoke, consider reducing speed, using the car cabin air filter recirculation, and wearing a mask if you have respiratory concerns. Avoid extended drives if visibility becomes poor.
