Widespread wildfire smoke across eastern Colorado

Unfortunately many eastern Colorado residents are waking up to hazy skies Tuesday morning with plenty of wildfire smoke across the region.  Alerts and advisories remain in effect for that long stretch of Interstate 25 from Pueblo northward through Colorado Springs, Denver, Ft. Collins, and to the Wyoming state line.  The good news for these areas is that there should be some steady improvement throughout the day today.  Any improvement will be slower for areas further east on the plains.  Basically for areas east of the Interstate 25 corridor and north of Interstate 70, particle pollution will likely be elevated through tomorrow morning.  You can get all the details on advisories for your area at our website.  Additionally, you can keep track of air quality monitor readings at the EPA's Fire and Smoke Map and get helpful information to protect your health at CDPHE's wildfire smoke and health webpage.
