Wildfire Smoke From Utah Spreads Across Arizona

Noticing some haze and smoke in the sky lately? If so, wildfire smoke from several wildfires burning in Utah has spread across the state the past few days. With high pressure just west of Arizona, the flow around the high (from north to south over Arizona), is allowing this smoke to move over the area. Satellite images above and below are from July 7, 2024 showing the smoke.

The good news is that most of this smoke is staying elevated well off of the ground; however, you might notice some haze across portions of Arizona.

The weather pattern will shift later this week, resulting in smoke moving away from Arizona.
