Wildfire season has kick-started in the southwest and smoke has drifted into Colorado.
The Mescal and Telegraph fires west of Phoenix, Arizona sparked in the first week of June and have both burned over 70,000 acres. Several more, smaller fires have recently been burning in southwest New Mexico and central Utah.
The smoke from these fires has left a light haze across Colorado since Tuesday and is most apparent in the west and southern areas of the state and within mountain valleys.
Residents of Teller county received cell phone alerts about wildfire smoke in the area on Tuesday, June 8th, and were assured it was NOT from a local fire. The Teller County Sheriff s office also alerted this on Twitter.

In the late afternoon and early evening, commuters on I-25 between Denver and Colorado Springs should benefit from the spring-like temperatures of the past two days as the snowfall melts on the warmed-up roads, according to the weather service. But road conditions may worsen as the temperature cools.
“As we get into the evening, and the temperatures cool down a few degrees, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see some ice and slush on the roads,” said Zach Hyris, a forecaster for NWS Boulder.
Winds were also expected to pick up to between 20 to 30 mph, the weather service tweeted.
