Massive Smoke Plume Moving Toward Colorado
Widespread smoke is expected to trigger more air quality alerts over the weekend in many Colorado regions.
DENVER (CBS4) – The air quality will once again become a major headline over the weekend as a massive area of wildfire smoke moves toward Colorado. As of Friday morning it was located over parts of Nevada, Idaho and Utah. It should start moving into western Colorado later in the day and reach the central part of the state by Saturday morning.
The state health department has issued an Air Quality Alert for wildfire smoke that covers all of western and central Colorado. The smoke is projected to reach unhealthy levels and it could be particularly dense in mountain valleys. The smoke is especially bad for those with respiratory illnesses, the very young and the elderly.
