Why is the air quality unhealthy in denver
Air Quality On Sunday: Unhealthy
I'm 7 News meteorologist Maureen McCann
looking at dangerously high fire
conditions statewide that means some
very smoky air poor visibility and poor
air quality too we have that in Colorado
Springs due to the nearby waldo canyon
fire can see that smoke and haze not
much better in Colorado other in Fort
Collins through the high park fire and
that continues to grow we have poor air
quality across many of the communities
along the i-25 corridor including fort
collins also Greeley and Denver today
the air quality index is going to be in
the unhealthy for sensitive groups
ranged a few of a chronic lung condition
not a day to have extended time outdoors
and certainly not doing any strenuous
activity could get some relief from some
isolated thunderstorms today we had them
pop up yesterday over the high country
but they will be very few and far
between the trend is going to be for
breezy conditions in the mountains very
dry air and very hot temperatures so
they're your red flag warnings posted
statewide Futurecast shows a little bit
of relief from those spotty
thunderstorms coming up through the
swatch mountains and sanger de cristos
and eventually making their way towards
the i-70 corridor but the eastern plains
should be free of precipitation notice
how dry it is there at least the south
eastern plains that's where you going to
find your hottest temperatures look at
these numbers statewide you can find
some relief up in the high country but
triple digits are evident from
Burlington to Lamar Pueblo and then
right here in Denver will be rivaling a
record the existing one goes back to
2007 it's 100 degrees so another very
hot day and we could be putting a record
in jeopardy on Monday to Tuesday triple
digits yet again we stay in the 90s all
week long but get into some slightly
better rain chances overnight lows stay
mild to they're going to be in the 60s
thanks so much for watching hope you're
having a great weekend
