DENVER—Once again, officials warn that drifting wildfire smoke from Canada will likely impact Colorado air quality.
“Generally, when we're getting these kind of hot days with light winds, there really isn’t any way to usher out some of those pollutants. That's when we tend to see those air quality alert days," Hiris said. Wildfire smoke from our northern neighbors darkened Colorado’s skies several times last year, prompting multiple air quality alerts throughout the summer. However, Hiris said the NWS is not expecting a significant amount from this incursion.
