San Luis Obispo County will continue to suffer under a blanket of smoke at
least through Friday and possibly into the weekend, PG&E meteorologist John
Lindsey told The Tribune on Thursday.
Winds from the northwest are driving the
thick, hazardous haze from the Monterey County fires to the Central Coast,
Lindsey said.
It’s so bad, North County towns registered the worst air quality in the world on
Thursday, according to the air quality monitoring company IQAir.
At one point Thursday, Paso Robles, San
Miguel, Atascadero and Lake Nacimiento held the top four spots for the worst
air quality in the nation.
The smoke was so think Thursday, it reduced
visibility to only a few blocks on Spring Street.
[John] Lindsey said that national weather
models showed the mass of smoke collecting along the
Central Coast.
