A regional smoke advisory remains in effect through Thursday night as multiple wildfires produce thick smoke plumes across Southern California. Onshore winds are pushing smoke from the Sandy Fire into Los Angeles County, affecting areas from the coast through the San Fernando Valley to Arcadia, where air may become unhealthy for sensitive groups. Additional smoke from the Bain, Verona, and Santa Rosa Island fires is expected to blanket the Inland Empire, the L.A. Basin, Catalina Island, and the Coachella Valley. Overnight, smoke is expected to come onshore and settle over the coast with little wind to clear the air. Residents are advised to take precautions if they see ash or smell smoke.
"A regional smoke advisory remains in effect through Thursday night as multiple wildfires send thick plumes across Southern California, degrading air quality from the coast to inland valleys."
"According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, onshore winds will push smoke from the Sandy Fire into Los Angeles County, impacting residents along the coast and from the San Fernando Valley to Arcadia, where the air could become unhealthy for sensitive groups."
"Other fires in the region are also impacting Southern Californians. The Bain and Verona fires in Riverside County have put wildfire smoke into several valleys in the Inland Empire, including in Perris, Temecula, Riverside and San Jacinto, according to the AQMD website."
"Overnight, smoke from the Santa Rosa Island and Sandy fires is expected to come onshore, settling over the coast with little wind to clear the air. "Smoke impacts can vary over time and by location. If you see ash or smell smoke, take precautions to protect your health," the advisory said."
