For the moment, air quality levels across most of Colorado have been in the Good to Moderate range as only light amounts of out-of-state wildfire smoke have arrived. Today we will continue to monitor several fires outside of Colorado, but especially a couple of ongoing fires in southern Utah. Any smoke that is produced at these two fires will likely carry in a northeasterly direction this afternoon and evening towards northwestern Colorado. There is a good chance the Utah wildfires will be active on Saturday due to weather conditions, and keep in mind that most of the Western Slope is under a Red Flag Warning. With that in mind, local wildfire initiation will also be a threat.
