Widespread cloud cover, higher relative humidity, and even a few showers and thunderstorms resulted in a decrease in fire activity yesterday on the Western Slope. The result is lower smoke levels for most of Colorado Friday morning. More good news -- moisture continues to surge into western Colorado. This should moderate fire activity again for today and limit smoke production.

Looking ahead, the weather will likely gradually dry out again over the course of the weekend, so if you are in an area with improved air quality today you may want to take advantage of it.
