September 30, 2020 - The U.S. Forest Service reports smoke and air quality outlook for the San Joaquin-Yosemite areas, due to the Creek Fire.

Fire: Fire behavior is expected to be active again at the north /northeastern parts of the fire. A potential increase in fire behavior is expected this afternoon due to fire weather conditions and unburned fuels near the perimeter and within the containment lines.

Smoke: Widespread smoke lies over the forecast region this morning. As a result, communities west of the fire perimeter should experience USG to Unhealthy levels. Communities to the east of the fire perimeter, such as, Lee Vining and Mammoth Lakes, should continue to experience heavier smoke impacts. Smoke from the Creek and Blue Jay fires is degrading air quality in the Yosemite Park area. In addition, smoke from fires in Northern California may impact communities in the forecast area this afternoon due to stronger northerly winds transporting smoke in our direction.
