Thick clouds of wildfire smoke have turned day to night across portions of California and Oregon, with sepia scenes emerging where an amber haze hangs overhead. Data from the Bay Area suggested the smoke was particularly plentiful between 3,000 and 6,000 feet. “It’s up pretty high, it’s actually not a whole lot down near the surface, at least in the Sacramento area,” Shoemaker said. It seems like over the Bay Area there, it’s sort of piled up there. Winds were predominantly out of the west-southwest last week, pushing much of the wildfire smoke into Nevada.
