Thick smoke has moved into the Carson City, Carson Valley areas this afternoon. There is no single fire contributing to this, rather many large wildfires and wildfire complexes in northern California, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

Beginning Sunday, southwest flow will take the current smoke into Oregon helping to improve conditions locally into the start of next week, but may also result in smoke from fires in southern California being transported into the region.
