 Los Angeles Fires Sept 2009 Please rate subscribe and pass on. Thank you. This is a time-lapse video shot from a outdoor camera of the La Canada Flintridge Station Fire. This video begins August 28, 2009 at 6:16 pm and ends on August 29, 2009 at 6:06 pm. The video shows a ridge line in northern La Canada surrounded by fire with airplanes and helicopters all over. Now onto today's news: Colorado's hazy skies courtesy of California wildfires The smoke over Colorado — which has made the mountains west of Denver invisible from downtown Denver — has come directly from the massive 85,000-acre wildfire in Southern California, according to the National Weather Service. Although Denverites could barely see the gray outlines of the foothills immediately west of Golden and Lakewood this afternoon, the higher mountains had disappeared in a dirty white haze. Norv Larson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Junction, said a high-pressure system on the Arizona-New Mexico border has caused an airflow that is carrying the smoke in an easterly direction. "Looking at satellite trajectories, we can follow it all the way back to California," said Larson. "There is a long line of smoke. These fires are so large and burning so hot, they're generating their own weather and lofting smoke thousands of feet into the atmosphere." The largest of the eight fires in California — an 85,000 acre blaze — is burning in the Angeles National Forest along a 20-mile front. Larson said the smoke is rising to about 12,000 feet above Denver and Grand Junction, or 17,000 feet above sea level. He said the smoke has yet to reach the jet stream, which flows at an altitude of about 20,000 feet. The smoke decreases the amount of sunshine reaching the Earth. But this doesn't mean Colorado is descending into a late-summer cooldown, he added. Temperatures will be lowered by one to three degrees, he said. If there were more moisture in the air, the smoke could help trigger thunderstorms, he said. But that isn't likely because the air is so dry. The smoke is expected to disappear over western Colorado early tomorrow morning. In Denver, the smoke will start to disperse several hours later, around sunrise, said Larson. Larson added that while smoke from forest fires in Arizona and Utah often flow into Colorado, it is a bit unusual for California smoke to blanket the state. http://www.denverpost.com /news/ci_13240245
