Some of the worst air quality in the world over the weekend along Front Range

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:52:05 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- If you spent any time outside Friday or Saturday you probably saw a thick haze in the sky. It's all due to smoke coming from large wildfires up in Canada. “Now we're on a streak of day two, tomorrow will bring more smoke and we will potentially see some of the worst air quality in the world not just the country," Pinpoint Meteorologist Liz McGiffin said Saturday. McGiffin explained the smoke comes in on a northeasterly breeze and then settles across the Front Range. She said the mountains to the west, not very visible on Saturday, work as a wall with the smoke not making it easy to push out. “It almost traps it in the Front Range as it pushes against the mountain range and that’s why areas like here in Denver, we notice the thick blanket of smoke," McGiffin said. "It’s like a fog at times where you can't see the mountains." Smoky skies cause poor visibility around Denver While Colorado is dealing with poor air quality, thousands of runners are expected to lace up...
