COLORADO SMOKE OUTLOOK:

There could be areas of light to moderate smoke in the immediate vicinity of controlled burns and small wildfires. For satellite analysis of smoke over the U.S., visit: http://www.firedetect.noaa.gov/viewer.htm

IF VISIBILITY IS LESS THAN 5 MILES IN SMOKE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD DUE TO A WILDFIRE OR CONTROLLED BURN, SMOKE HAS REACHED LEVELS THAT ARE UNHEALTHY. If smoke is thick or becomes thick in your neighborhood you may want to remain indoors. This is especially true for those with heart disease, respiratory illnesses, the very young, and the elderly. Consider limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present. Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is making you ill.
