Wildfire smoke has marred the Front Range in recent weeks, due to Megafires that are likely to become more frequent. And more smoke is likely.

Smokey Skies (Starts 15:00) The Front Range is getting eye-stinging smoke from wildfires over 1,000 miles away . . . last week, from Canada, and this week, likely from California, according to the Colorado Smoke Blog.
