Smokey? That's not smokey (at least not as much as it was)! THIS is smokey! Click

It's up a hill, about 8 miles south of RLD, looking north, which is usually a
panoramic view.

Or look at the Prosser airport webcam:

A huge area of smoke engulfed us about 3 hours ago, all from the Omak area fires.
The wind has shifted from N to NE, so I think it will clear out soon.

ERIC, You did not see the webcam at about 10:00 am today. One could not see past the car in the office building, just barely could make out the fuel tank and looking north could not make anything out past the car in the office paking lot it was all brown on the picture. No trailers, not club house, no noththing. The winds have helped move some of it out.
Take care.
