Air quality alert issued for wildfire smoke in Colorado

To stream 9NEWS on your phone, you need the 9NEWS app.

DENVER — Winds are blowing wildfire smoke from Nebraska into parts of Colorado on Friday, leading to air quality concerns.

A large wildfire in central Nebraska forced people out of their homes late Thursday and early Friday. The National Weather Service in Hastings issued the evacuation order for the town of Farnam and southwest Dawson County in Nebraska.

The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team said that the winds shifted Friday morning in northeastern Colorado, dragging in the smell of smoke blowing from the east.

The Greeley Fire Department said Friday that it had received many reports of smoke in the area and confirmed that there are no active fires within the city.

Seeing haze or smelling smoke? Here's why, plus Colorado wind forecast

If you went outside to survey the neighborhood wind damage and noticed it was hazy or smoky, the National Weather Service says it's likely due to wildfires in another state.

Several fires broke out March 12 in Nebraska, according to local media reports.

That smoke moved into northeastern Colorado early the morning of March 13, the NWS in Boulder posted on X.com.

In Fort Collins, Poudre Fire Authority did respond to two small wildfires west of Horsetooth Reservoir just before 6:30 a.m., it posted on X.com. But it said it was releasing some units after its initial review of the fires.

The Katherine River has reached its highest level in five years at 15.3 metres.

The river peaked just shy of the 16-metre minor flood level, which hasn't happened since the last flood in 2006.

The weather bureau says the situation could change again, with more rain forecast over the next 48 hours.

Residents in the Top End town of Katherine are being urged to check their flood kits and make plans in case the river rises again, after it peaked about 70 centimetres below flood levels on Monday afternoon.
