Smoke expected to increase in northwestern Colorado on Tuesday

Smoke from wildfires in other states has reached the northwestern corner of Colorado on Tuesday morning. Only moderate impacts have been seen as of this writing (Tuesday morning), however as daytime mixing of the atmosphere increases, we expect smoke that is aloft to be drawn downward and increase surface concentrations within the area covered in the Air Quality Health Advisory; issued for Moffat and Rio Blanco Counties.
