WEATHER Rogue Valley haze from Siberian wildfires could start to dissipate Tuesday By Ryan Pfeil Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By Ryan Pfeil Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 20, 2015 @ 11:36 am Updated Apr 20, 2015 at 11:40 AM By Ryan Pfeil Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 20, 2015 @ 11:36 am Updated Apr 20, 2015 at 11:40 AM » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> The smoky haze that has traveled from Siberian wildfires to much of the Pacific Northwest could see some thinning in Southern Oregon starting Tuesday, though the smoke could return if the fires continue. The National Weather Service says a 15-degree temperature drop, a chance of showers and some cloud cover should help to move some of the smoke along. "This stagnant, kind of warm pattern, it's going to shift," said meteorologist Shad Keene. "Effects will be less noticeable." According to The Associated Press, the fires are burning in Khakassia, located in southeastern Siberia, and were started by farmers burning grass in their fields. Winds pushed the fires out of control and have killed more than a dozen people and burned hundreds of homes, the AP reported. Smoke traveled about 5,500 miles and first started to drift into the area on Saturday, meandering across the sky in the Seattle and Vancouver area before moving south. The smoke cast the setting sun a deep orange Sunday night in the Rogue Valley. The haze has not affected air quality because of its height off the ground, or roughly 13,000 feet, Keene said. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's Air Quality Index shows air has been at "good" levels for the last 24 hours. The high temperature Tuesday is expected to plunge to 70 degrees, down 15 degrees from today's expected high of 85. Chances of rain showers are expected Tuesday into Thursday, with high temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s. "Tuesday temperatures are going to drop significantly. It will be very noticeable," Keene said. Reach reporter Ryan Pfeil at 541-776-4468 or [email protected] . Follow him at www.twitter.com/ryanpfeil .
