Majority of fire activity will be from interior burning. Due to continued dry and warm weather and breezy southwest winds, fire activity and smoke production could increase. At night, continued creeping, smoldering, and backing can be expected.

Smoke
Morning satellite imagery shows lighter smoke off the Coldwater Fire and a large smoke column from the Woodbury Fire east of Phoenix. That smoke is moving toward the northeast. This additional smoke from the Woodbury will continue to increase smoke along the I40 communities and also for locations around Show Low. The increased smoke will cause decreasing air quality through Saturday, but only Moderate air is possible. In the morning for Winslow, Holbrook, and Show Low, brief Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups is possible, improving by 9am.

Transportation
Smoke could be dense at the intersection of State Highway 87 and Lake Mary Road or Forest Service Road 3 each morning between approximately 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. Smoke from the Coldwater and other fires in the area could collect each morning in drainages along I40. Watch for reduced visibility at times, especially along the Little Colorado River.
