Starting Monday, an upper trough will increase the presence of onshore winds that will push the smoke to the north and east, according to a Weather Service smoke model.

Time lapse video shows flames from the Caldor Fire overnight were not far from the ski lifts at the Sierra at Tahoe resort.

All of South Lake Tahoe was put under an evacuation warning Sunday as the massive Caldor Fire crept dangerously closer toward the mountain town.

Thousands of people are signed up for two days of running in Santa Rosa: 5k and 10k races on Saturday and a half-marathon and full marathon on Sunday. The poor air quality is causing some concern.

The air quality in Lake Tahoe was three times worse on Friday than what officials consider to be hazardous conditions.

People living above the ridge of the Lake Tahoe Basin are being forced to evacuate due to the advancing Caldor Fire on Thursday.
