Hawk Fire, Timber Fire causing hazy morning sky in Redding
Smoke from the Hawk Fire that came too close to neighborhoods in Reno, Nevada and Timber Fire burning in the Big Sur area has been drifting into the Sacramento Valley, turning the morning sky hazy in Redding and other communities in far Northern California. Redding's air could be smoky again on Wednesday, Aug. 26 and for the rest of the week. The haze is so high in the sky, it is not triggering air quality alerts. Readings on Monday and Tuesday were in the moderate to good range, according to the National Weather Service. In a process called inversion, that smoke gets trapped in the Sacramento Valley around Redding and to the south of the city, said Dan Weygand, lead meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Medford, Oregon. The Hawk Fire, sparked over the weekend in the Sierra Nevada, had charred more than 15,000 acres as of Aug. 25. Also, the 93,733-acre Bug Fire that firefighters have nearly brought under full containment along the California-Nevada border was contributing to the smoky conditions. The Timber Fire in Monterey County had consumed nearly 16,000 acre and was 27% contained on Aug. 25, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire
