Light Smoke Lingering Through Labor Day

 Smoke from out-of-state wildfires made its way to Colorado on Friday. Sunday morning, smoke is lingering on the Front Range and in northern Colorado. 

This morning, many monitors are reporting Moderate Particulate Matter. As atmospheric mixing kicks in Sunday afternoon, smoke concentrations should decrease. Although no major public health impacts are expected from this smoke, unusually sensitive people may consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion today.

The HRRR-Smoke model suggests that light smoke and hazy skies may linger through Monday.
