ROANOKE, Va. – By the middle of the day, the heaviest of the smoke has moved further to the east and right overhead. All of our zones will have smoky and hazy conditions throughout the day.
The density of the smoke won’t be as high this time around, and it won’t last as long. It should be moving out and primarily out of our area by the middle of the week.
Our air quality this morning is in the moderate category. If you are sensitive to changes in air quality and the introduction of fine particulates in the atmosphere, please be aware over the course of the day as air quality could get slightly worse at times.
It will be a back and forth as thinner smoke will move overhead at times, and then patches of denser smoke will follow through the day.
At noon on Tuesday, the smoke will be a lot thinner and our air quality will improve. Again, heavier smoke will move through at times, but the majority of it will be thin and will provide a film over the horizon.
While the air quality will be a concern, our sunrises and sunsets will be picturesque.
