No smoke yet for Colorado this week

 This week, Coloradans are breathing in less smoke.

Last week, smoke from fires in Colorado and Utah affected western Colorado. Fire activity is lower this week, and smoke has cleared from Colorado.

As of today, Red Flag Warnings are in effect for parts of Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. If fires spark in these upwind states, smoke could return to the conversation. We will watch for new fire starts and update the blog as necessary.
