Smoky Skies

Wildfires continue across the Inter-mountain West, which continue to spew smoke into the atmosphere as they burn largely out of control. With the current weather pattern, this smoke that has been lofted up into the atmosphere is being pushed down into the Western High Plains and nearby areas. Hard to believe, but areas even as far away as Kansas City are seeing the affects of this smoke. The smoke on the horizon is providing very dull, but colorful sunsets as shown below.
