Smoke Drifting In The High Desert Saturday Night

VICTOR VALLEY, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> A Smoke Advisory!!! For Saturday night due to drifting smoke and the smell of smoke from the Palisades Fire in Topanga Canyon area of LA county. The smoke is moving north and we have much clear skies in the high desert locations due to stronger onshore wind with a storm coming in tonight.

The smoke is hampering air quality throughout. Based on wind pattern forecasts, residents within the the high desert could feel the effects of smoke Saturday evening. Smoke and haze could still be present Sunday.

If you can smell smoke, you’re breathing smoke. When smoke is present, residents should avoid excessive outdoor exercise or activity. Children, seniors, people with heart or lung disease and physically active adults are at greatest risk during poor air quality events.

If you are impacted by smoke this is what to do:
•    Everyone should avoid any vigorous outdoor or indoor exertion.
•    People with respiratory or heart disease, older adults, and children should remain indoors.
•    Keep windows and doors closed.
•    Run your air conditioner if you have one.
•    Avoid using a swamp cooler or whole-house fan to prevent bringing additional smoke inside.
