...Heavy wildfire smoke will impact southeastern Utah through at
least Saturday night...

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 Saturday night.

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. 

For more information on air quality forecasts associated with the
Dragon Bravo and White Sage Fires, please see
