Overview

The West Fire is burning along the Rim about 13 miles north-northwest of Payson.

Smoke Synopsis

Note: This will be the last smoke forecast for the West Fire unless conditions change.

Today into the weekend, overall smoke production will continue to decrease. Smoke from time to time may increase as unburned pockets of fuel ignite within the fire's perimeter or as firefighters work to strengthen the fire line.

Today, smoke will move off toward the west slowly. This weekend, smoke during the day will move toward the north. Each night, winds will become light, allowing smoke to drain into Pine and drain southward down Sycamore Creek, Shannon Gulch, and Webber Creek toward the East Verde River. Light to, at times, brief moderate smoke impacts are likely in Geronimo Estates, East Verde Estates, and Pine. Smoke is expected to lift out of these areas by 930am each morning.
