Hazy start to the week for eastern Colorado

 Although the heaviest of the Canadian wildfire smoke remains to the east of Colorado, some smoke is noticeable Monday morning across the eastern half of the state.  Although widespread, significant health impacts are not anticipated at this time, you could certainly experience some mild to moderate respiratory symptoms today.  This is especially true if you suffer from any type of lung disease, such as asthma or COPD.  Please see our wildfire smoke and health webpage to learn how to best protect your health, or consult with your health provider.

The heaviest of the smoke today looks like it will impact the northeastern corner of the state, including Sterling, Holyoke and Julesburg.  Some improvement is expected by tomorrow.
