If you are planning on spending some time around Red Feather Lakes in Larimer County Wednesday morning, you may want to limit outdoor time for at least a few hours. A 400 acre prescribed burn yesterday has produced some areas of heavy smoke this morning. Fortunately, smoke levels are decreasing and improved air quality is expected later Wednesday morning and into the afternoon hours. There will be some more burning in the area today, but at a much more limited scale. Do keep in mind that smoke may be present again Thursday morning.
