Smoke choking parts of Tahoe region

Smoke from wildland fires outside the Lake Tahoe Basin continue to impact the region.

The Truckee area is being impacted by smoke drifting down from the Klamath National Forest complex of fires approximately 300 miles to the northwest.

The South Shore is seeing smoke from the Meadow Fire in Yosemite that has been burned more than 2,600 acres.
