Possible Smoke Tuesday Afternoon

Large wildfires continue to burn in Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, and heavy smoke persists. While Colorado's air is comparatively clean, the northern Front Range may see some smoke this afternoon.  

The HRRR-Smoke model shows a brief uptick of smoke in eastern Colorado arriving Tuesday afternoon. By noon, The Northern Front Range may begin to see smoke. Throughout the afternoon, smoke is expected to move south. The highest chance of smoke will be north of the Palmer Divide. Smoke is likely to dissipate by Wednesday.

No major public health impacts are expected, but those with asthma or other respiratory ailments may consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion today.
