LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Air Quality Management District said smoke and haze from the LNU Lightning Complex and the August Complex have led to conditions in the “unhealthy” range that are expected to continue through Tuesday.

The smoke and haze from the fires has impacted all areas of the Lake County air basin, where officials said the winds and overnight cooling is trapping the smoke from the LNU Lightning Complex in Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Yolo, Solano and Colusa counties, and the August Complex in the Mendocino National Forest.

As a result, all areas of Lake County should be prepared for continuing periods of “unhealthy for sensitive individuals” to “unhealthy” conditions through Tuesday, Sept. 1, the district said.

Areas close to the fires should use additional caution as localized smoke impacts may be significant until the fires are completely out.

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

The district said smoke is still expected to intermittently cause significant impacts throughout Lake County until all of the regional fires are contained.

This forecast is based on the latest weather, monitoring and fire activity information, the district said.
