Pockets of heavy smoke southeast of Red Feather Lakes

 Heavy smoke has again been observed this morning in areas to the southeast of weekend burn operations at Red Feather Lakes. Please limit time outdoors in these areas, if possible. The good news is that smoke levels should drop dramatically by late morning with good air quality anticipated Tuesday afternoon. Additionally, smoke levels this morning are considerably less than at this time yesterday. So continued improvement is expected for the rest of this week.

Unhealthy smoke levels recorded Tuesday morning at one air quality monitor southeast of Red Feather Lakes. Map and data are available at fire.airnow.gov
