IF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS HOLD UP, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE SMOKE RISING FROM AREAS OF THE VALLES CALDERA IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. IT’S BECAUSE OF A SERIES OF PRESCRIBED BURNS PLANNED FOR LATER THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THE BURNS WILL TREAT PART OF THE BANCO BONITO AND TH E CERRO SECO. BOTH ARE WITHIN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE VALLES CALDERA. IT SHOULD TAKE BETWEEN THREE AND 10 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE PROJECTS.
SMOKE SHOULD BE VISIBLE FROM ALL DIRECTIONS HEADING INTO THE JEMEZ MOUNTAINS.
