I thought I remembered someone on this site about a year ago telling about a web site that projected smoke density in the future. Kind of like a weather forecast, but it was a wildfire smoke forecast for days in the future. I've search this site and the web and can't find anything like that. I only find smoke density maps for a single time period. Am I dreaming? Anyone know of a wildfire smoke forecast web site?

thanks


Posting from the Pacific NW where I have never; in all my many years living here, seen so much smoke in the area. It is pouring in from BC. My thoughts are with my BC friends, it must be worse there.
 
Yep, thanks Ronin! I've got it up on my PC and I'm liking what I see, it'll be very useful to us. Do you happen to know if this website works as an Android-friendly app for smartphones too?

While maybe somewhat useful I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in that. This was a picture taken in Spokane when I walked out of work on 08/04/17 at about 6:00PM

But the Map for the same time appears to show things fairly clear over the area.

It's looking like another smoke filled day here today, windows closed, probably a good day for some extra time at work in the cooled server room.
 
Answering my own question about Android use that was posed above: By using a Firefox browser option on an Android device, it's allowing the SSL connection (https) that was being rejected by the default Chrome browser... so there ya have it, ymmv.

The link I posted only covers a few western states close to the border - but all of WA which might help the OP. Here's a partial screen shot for those who can't load it:

Environment Canada is another source:

for eg a partial screen shot of 48hr prediction. scale is small though:
