Montana Under Smoke Alert | Bozeman News
Description
Smoke from Oregon, Washington, and Montana wildfires has blanketed 19 counties, pushing Bozeman’s air quality into the “unhealthy” red zone with readings as high as 170. Sensors across western Montana—including Gallatin Gateway and parts of MSU—also report dangerous levels, especially for sensitive groups. While some wind may help clear smoke, forecasters warn it could also fan flames and spread more smoke. Southern Montana faces a fire weather watch as unseasonably warm temps and dry conditions create ideal wildfire fuel. Despite the haze, events like the Sweet Pea Festival continue, but health officials urge caution: limit outdoor activity and check the state’s air quality index for updates.
