 An Air Quality Health Advisory has been in effect for southwest Colorado since Thursday. Today, we have updated the advisory to include Garfield, Pitkin, Eagle, Lake, and Chaffee Counties. San Juan and Hinsdale Counties are not under the advisory today. 

Smoke is moving further north and east, along the Colorado River Valley. Particulate Matter has already started to rise in Glenwood Springs, Aspen, and Rifle this morning.

Thunderstorms are possible throughout western Colorado this afternoon. Gusty winds are possible, which could send smoke in any direction.

If you are sensitive to smoke, take steps to protect your health today. Stay up-to-date on the latest fire and smoke conditions by checking InciWeb and EPA's Fire and Smoke map.
