throughout the pacific northwest, idaho in particular. and if we visualize the smoke that way, look how milky everything looks, awful air quality right now across much of the west. coming down to our virtual map. we areaible are able to visuallize it. unhealthy air, shades of yellow and orange. look at it. it is dealing with there, we are often so hyperfocused on the local stories but it is important to point out there is a large scale problem right now with fire season across the west. we are starting to see huge amounts of the western u.s. getting inundated with smoke. back with the forecast in just a bit. there is a significant cool down about to take place. i will see with you that in just a few minutes. we will get the latest on the
