Along with the smoke, Denver and the  northern I-25 corridor has an air quality alert for higher ozone levels caused by the summer heat. If you are sensitive to poor air quality the air is unhealthy for Friday.

A cold front that has pushed into the state along with late day thunderstorms expected Friday and Saturday should help to thin out the added smoke over the weekend.
