Smoke has arrived to northeastern Colorado

An air quality alert is already in place today along the I-25 urban corridor from Denver northward to Ft. Collins due to expected high levels of both ozone and particle pollution from wildfire smoke.  We are now considering raising the flag on an advisory for parts of the adjacent plains to the east as out-of-state wildfire smoke has rushed in with a cold front early this morning (as evidenced by the Akron webcam below).  More information soon to follow.
