Haze From Wildfires Expected To Continue In Colorado

DENVER (AP) — Forecasters say a grey haze from western wildfires is expected to continue over parts of Colorado this weekend.

Forecasters also say the fire danger is high in the northern area of the state because of gusty winds, low humidity and dry vegetation.

Gusty winds behind a cold front are expected to bring additional smoke from forest fires burning in the Pacific Northwest.

Officials say people with respiratory health issues should remain indoors.
