This is great!  I can see where all the smoke came from today that made our air quality so terrible.  Fires in San Luis Obispo County and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Kings Canyon are all having impacts here in Southern California and Wrightwood.

I saw the same drift smoke from San Luis Obispo County and Kings Canyon. Great tool!

I agree, Thanks for posting as the air quality was very poor today and several people were wondering where all the smoke was coming from.

Hearing reports from the Victorville area about the hazy sky this morning. Looking at the Blue Sky viewer it's from the San Luis Obispo County and Kings Canyon fires.

That is a great site.

Sure glad we traveled to Oregon in late June/July, now it's smokey almost everywhere.

Interesting that the viewer is not working this morning.
