While that onshore flow is helping to steer some of the smoke away from the highly populated areas, the wind will start to shift more out of the south later in the day. Some of the smoke may move into some inland neighborhoods and residents with any respiratory issues should limit outdoor activity. Wind gusts could be as high as 35 miles per hour.
