It’s going to be another breezy day. There is an Air Quality Health Advisory and a Stage II Fire Restrictions.

Mostly sunny and breezy today.  Winds will be gusting to 30 mph out of the southwest. 

The valley will see a high of 73.  Look for an overnight low of 39. 

Leadville, Fairplay and the mountains can expect a high of 59, a low of 27.

The National Weather Service has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory through at least this morning.    

If smoke becomes thick in your neighborhood you will want to remain indoors.  This is especially true for those with heart disease, respiratory illnesses, the very young and elderly. 

If visibility is less than 5 miles, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy. 

Chaffee County remains under Stage II Fire Restrictions that prohibit all open fires, including charcoal fires.  The only devices allowed are those whose flame is controlled by a valve.
