Early Morning Report

I can see smoke rising from the top of Flagstaff Mountain, and from several areas on the east side of the ridge behind NCAR. The first news briefing will occur about 8:30 this morning.  It was cooler here over night, and the winds died down quite a bit.  We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
  More than 32,000 people were evacuated from their homes near Colorado Springs yesterday afternoon and evening.  A lot of homes were lost.  And the High Park fire, west of Fort Collins, has swallowed several more homes as well.  I'm off to walk the red kids before it gets too hot, and while the air quality is still half-way decent...
