"The sun looked orange as it shined through a thick blanket of wildfire smoke on Tuesday across a large area of North America, including in Denver, and the smoke could spread even farther in the coming days."
"The sun appeared orange and red through a layer of haze on Tuesday morning as a large blanket of wildfire smoke covered part of the central United States and Canada.
Air quality reached unhealthy levels in parts of North Dakota, eastern Montana, eastern Wyoming and northeastern Colorado where the thickest smoke was concentrated. Dense smoke also obscured the sky over the Canadian Prairies.
The air quality in Denver quickly declined on Tuesday morning. It started the day at "poor" levels and reached "unhealthy" levels before midday, making conditions hazardous for anyone who spends time outdoors."
