Hello Mike,
First thanks for the informative weather broadcasts. I am heading to the Sierras this weekend and I am wondering what is the maximum altitude of the smoke layer.
Thanks
John

Hi John,
It took some searching but I found pilot reports from around California.
The thickest concentration of smoke is between 4000 and 9000 feet with smoke reaching heights near 14000 feet. The Sierra smoke will increase Saturday as a southwest wind develops in this part of the atmosphere. By Sunday you should see some improvement.
Safe travels,
Mike
