Tuolumne Meadows Air Quality

Looks like the valley got a ton of smoke this morning, anyone know if Tuolumne is the same? Was planning on heading out there for the weekend. 

According to airnow.gov, it looks like current AQI in the meadows is moderate at 92, although it looks like the smoke may be heading north.

It also says the valley is at 102, but it's definitely way more than that nps.gov/media/webcam/view.h…

Yeah, I think those sensors can be a slightly lagging indicator. For what it's worth though, that webcam always looks much worse than reality because it has a ton of zoom on it that magnifies any haze. I usually check the Yosemite falls or ahwahnee meadow cams for a more realistic perspective. 

Following this because I was going to spend the weekend up there too. The webcams looked clear all week but I saw that the red flag warnings was extended and the winds may be changing
