Models are showing smoke moving into the Western Slope on Thursday afternoon. This smoke could reach cities on the eastern Plains by Friday.
How much smoke? That depends on how much the fires grow. The France Canyon Fire, the Buck Fire, and the Trout Fire are three major fires to watch. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for parts of western Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Weather conditions on Thursday and Friday could enhance these fires. If any new fires spark, they could grow quickly.
If you're sensitive to smoke, you may want to take health precautions on Thursday and Friday.
CDPHE's website has information on how to protect your health during smoke episodes.
