Fire activity is pleasantly minimal in much of the western U.S. at the moment. The primary incident that may have effects in Colorado is the Madre Fire in southern California. Smoke from this fire is heading our way, however the plumes that have been produced so far are not overly concerning for air quality impacts in Colorado.
Smoke may arrive in areas of northwestern Colorado on Saturday. Hazy skies and the potential for light concentrations of particulate matter are possible in areas such as Grand Junction, Steamboat Springs, and areas near Dinosaur National Monument.
Significant health impacts are not anticipated. However folks who are sensitive to particle pollution should consider taking it easy, particularly if spending time outdoors in northwestern Colorado this weekend.
