The air was beautiful here McCall until starting on Wednesday. The local fires
(19) started by lightning on Sunday. Air quality not too bad today.

Smoke from Boise County fires filtered into the Treasure Valley
Wednesday morning - but that wasn't the only reason that the skies over the
Valley were hazy.

Surface winds out of the northwest carried smoke from large fires in Oregon and
Washington and upper-level winds brought smoke from a number of wildfires in
Alberta, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.

"That smoke is coming down with the jet stream," National Weather Service
meteorologist Korri Anderson said.
