Colorado Weather: A little hazy over parts of the state due to Pacific NW wildfire smoke

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.
