A red flag warning has been issued for the Park Range in northwestern Colorado, and North and Middle Park, NWS reports. Wildfire smoke will be visible.
The heat is back. Highs will reach the mid 90s in Denver and the 80s in the high country today with mostly sunny skies. You may see some wildfire smoke in the air especially directly to the east of the wildfires.
