Smoke from several fires in neighboring states moved into Colorado on Saturday, but air quality has improved as of Sunday morning. The Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke is no longer in effect.
On Sunday morning, light to moderate smoke is possible in southeast Colorado, especially in Baca County. Folks who are extremely sensitive to smoke may want to take steps to protect their health. However, no major public health impacts are expected. Throughout the day, winds are expected to increase, helping to clear out the smoke. Good to Moderate air quality conditions are expected on Sunday.
One wildcard in Sunday's forecast is that a Red Flag Warning is in effect for southeast Colorado. CDPHE is monitoring for any new fires and will issue an advisory if heavy smoke returns.
