Wildfire / smoke forecast
A general forum for anything related to flying the backcountry. Please check first if your new topic fits better into a more specific forum before posting.
While researching the fires / smoke in Alaska I stumbled across this website from the Forest Service. Click on the link that says "BlueSky Daily Run Viewer", choose your region, and click on "map" for a forecast of the areas impacted by smoke. I first bookmarked the final link but it then stays on that day....if you follow this route you'll get current info.

I've been playing around with it for a few days and it seems pretty accurate. I can't get it to work on my phone though... maybe there is a mobile version or something.
