Finally, some good news for Colorado's air!
The Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke in Montrose County has been allowed to expire Tuesday morning.
Activity on the Bucktail Fire has calmed down, and satellite imagery shows an improvement in smoke this morning. Tuesday afternoon, rain is expected, which could help to limit the fire's growth. There is, however, some uncertainty in how much wind will enhance fire growth this afternoon. As thunderstorms roll through, wetting rain will help to limit fire activity, but gusty winds can contribute to growth.
CDPHE is monitoring this fire and will re-issue an Air Quality Health Advisory if necessary.
Satellite imagery shows no smoke near the Bucktail Fire as of Tuesday morning.
EPA's Fire and Smoke Map shows that all monitors near the Bucktail Fire (outlined in red) are reporting Good air quality as of Tuesday morning.
