The San Juan National Forest have confirmed that they intend to burn approximately 1200 acres on Sunday (see yesterday's blog post below for a map and additional information). If you have outdoor plans on Sunday in places like McPhee Reservoir or up along Highway 145 east of Dolores, do not be alarmed if you see a large plume of smoke Sunday afternoon.
Although health impacts from the smoke are not anticipated on Sunday, there could be some moderate to heavy smoke moving down Italian Canyon to Highway 145 and possibly into Dolores late Sunday night and early Monday morning. If you reside in Dolores, you will probably want to close your windows before heading off to bed Sunday night. Also, you may want to delay any outdoor activities or exercise planned for Monday morning as smoke could linger until noon. Better air quality can be expected by Monday afternoon.
The CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division periodically updates this page to provide information about smoke in Colorado. This page covers wildfire activity, prescribed burning operations, and the transport of smoke from out-of-state sources.
