Smoke from regional wildfires has prompted the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and the Nez Perce Tribe to issue notifications about poor air quality.

The tribe issued an air quality advisory and the department an air quality caution Thursday.  Both will stay in effect through the weekend.

Forecasters from both agencies expect smoke to persist until at least Monday and for air quality to be moderate to unhealthy for sensitive groups depending on location.  (Idaho Department of Environmental Quality)
