Key Factors
- 01 An active Code Red Air Quality Alert identifies air pollution as unhealthy for the general population.
- 02 Hourly forecasts show smoke or areas/patches of smoke continuously from 7 AM through midnight.
- 03 Areas of smoke are forecast during 7–10 AM and again after 10 PM, which may present the greatest potential visibility concern.

Recommendation
Avoid nonessential driving, especially 7–10 AM and after 10 PM when broader areas of smoke are forecast. If travel is necessary, the relatively preferable morning window is 11 AM–1 PM and evening window is 6–8 PM, when only patchy smoke is forecast; keep windows closed, use recirculated air, and slow down if visibility is reduced.
