Although many parts of eastern Colorado have seen air quality improvement over the past several hours, some areas continue to deal with lingering smoke from wildfires in Nebraska. The atmosphere has been a bit more stubborn in southeastern Colorado, particularly along the Arkansas River Valley from Pueblo eastward through La Junta to Lamar. Therefore, the Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke has been extended through 9am Saturday morning. Continue to limit activities that require physical exertion in this part of Colorado, and also reduce your time outdoors if possible. The smoke should gradually decrease as we head into the start of the weekend.
