WHILE THE MONSOONS HAVE DAMPENED THE FIRE DANGER HERE…MANY LARGE WILDFIRES CONTINUE TO BURN IN OTHER WESTERN STATES. AND SMOKE FROM THOSE FIRES HAVE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO NEW MEXICO.
METEOROLOGIST ROGER SMITH WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE SAYS IT’S BEEN AN UNBELIEVABLE AND DANGEROUS FIRE SEASON IN CALIFORNIA, WHERE SMOKE HAS DRIFTED FROM THE FIRES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND INTO NEW MEXICO.
THAT’S METEOROLOGIST ROGER SMITH . HE SAYS SMOKE FROM THE WESTERN WILDFIRES WAS THE REASON FOR THE HAZY SKIES IN ALBUQUERQUE SUNDAY AND MONDAY. FOR THE MOST PART, THAT SMOKE HAS MOVED ON, AND THE AIR QUALITY SHOULD BE IMPROVING.
