A slight chance of thunderstorms at or above 9,000 feet today and tomorrow afternoons. On Friday, a trough will push this monster ridge to our east and allow moisture to move into the area. I am encouraged but not yet 100% confident that it will happen when it is supposed to. So for now, be aware that wetting rains may be possible across the forecast area on Friday. Also remember, dry likes to stay dry…
If you think it got smokier overnight, you’re right. Lots of readings in the red this morning.
Here is the smoke dispersal forecast for today. This is the worst forecast so far. If this pans out, you will want to avoid being outside after 11 or 12 today.
This indicates that the worst conditions will occur from Durango south this afternoon, peaking between 2 and 5 pm.
