Air quality monitoring and satellite imagery reveal some smoke located in close vicinity to West Slope wildfires Sunday morning. Smoke has drained overnight from the Stoner Mesa fire extending southwestward into Montezuma County with smoke being reported in Dolores, Cortez and Towaoc. Fortunately, this smoke should decrease as progress through the morning and no advisory is necessary at this time. If you do want to spend time outdoors in this part of Colorado, waiting until this afternoon would probably be the best choice for your personal health. The same holds true for those located close to the Crosho fire or Lee fire located in Rio Blanco County in northwestern Colorado.
The weather is steadily drying out across western Colorado so the wildfires may start getting active again Sunday afternoon. We will keep you posted if any air quality advisories are necessary.
