1:23Now PlayingA layer of smoke and haze continue to cover Colorado as the region deals with near-record high temperatures.
The wildfire smoke impacting Colorado, including the Denver metro area, Front Range and Interstate 25 corridor, will hamper visibility at times, especially in the high country west of the Divide.
In Denver and along the Front Range, most of the smoke is coming from the Elk Fire that is burning near Meeker in western Colorado.
There are several fires in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona supplying the hazy and smoky conditions overhead. Smoke-related air quality will be worst in western Colorado, closer to the source of the smoke.
Fire weather danger will continue to be an issue this week, with gusty 30-35 mph winds and a very dry airmass over Colorado. There will be high fire danger in the mountains, especially west of the Continental Divide, all week long.
