Out--of-state wildfire smoke possible on Thursday for northeastern Colorado

 There's still plenty of wildfire activity across the northwestern United States, but thankfully the smoke from those fires has largely avoided Colorado for the past several days.  That might be about to change.  Although we are not anticipating heavy smoke at this time, there is certainly the possibility that particle pollution could be elevated on Thursday across the northeastern corner of Colorado, including Julesburg, Ft. Morgan, and Akron.  By Thursday afternoon and evening, some of that smoke may reach the northern Front Range region of Denver, Boulder and Ft. Collins.  Stay tuned.
