LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Air Quality Management District said smoky and hazy conditions due to the LNU Lighting Complex and August Complex wildland fires are expected to continue through Sunday.

The district said all areas of Lake County should be prepared for continuing periods of “unhealthy for sensitive individuals” to “unhealthy” conditions on Sunday.

Areas close to the fires should use additional caution as localized smoke impacts may be significant, officials said.

Overall conditions in the main Lake County Air Basin should see slight improvements in air quality over the next few days, however, all areas may experience “unhealthy” or worse air quality at times.

Smoke is still expected to intermittently cause significant impacts throughout Lake County until all of the fires are contained.

This forecast is based on the latest weather, monitoring, fire activity information and will be updated as necessary.
