Mid-Willamette Valley residents woke up to a hazy view of the foothills Monday as smoke from wildfires in northern California and southern Oregon moved into the area.

The smoke likely will remain at higher altitudes and move out of the area Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

"By tomorrow mid-day we should see more westerly winds that will start to clear things out and push the smoke east of the Willamette Valley,” said Andy Bryant, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Portland.

Air quality across the valley didn't show any sign of deterioration Monday morning as all Salem-area monitoring stations indicated levels as "good."

Hot conditions for Monday

A heat advisory issued this weekend continues Monday until 10 p.m.

The advisory warns temperatures could reach near 100 degrees with the hottest time of the day arriving between 4 and 6 p.m.

While overnight temperatures Monday into Tuesday will be similar to the previous night, forecasts indicate overnight temperatures later this week will return to the low-60s and upper- to mid-50s.
