SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Several fires burning in Northern California are producing hazy, smoke-filled skies to the area.
On Monday evening, the smoke was so thick, ash started falling from the sky from nearby fires in the Napa area. Winds pushed the smoke plume east from the area into the Sacramento Valley.
Winds are expected to bring smoke into the valley through Tuesday and possibly until there's better containment on the fire lines. The tweet link below shows a timeline of where the smoke is headed through early Tuesday. The thickest smoke is shaded in purple. Lighter smoke is blue.
The combination of fires is being called the LNU Lightning Complex, which includes the Hennessey, Gamble, 15-10, Spanish, Markley, 13-4, and 11-16 fires. According to Cal Fire, extreme fire behavior with short and long-range spotting is continuing to challenge firefighting efforts.
