Cooler conditions with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
are expected mainly for the mountains today. Rain and snow showers
will spread into the Continental Divide Sunday night into Monday,
while dry and windy conditions overspread the remainder of southern
Colorado through Wednesday. Critical fire weather conditions will
likely return for Monday through Wednesday for the San Luis Valley
and southern portions of the southeast plains where fuels are
critical. A cooler and wetter pattern will be possible for late week
into next weekend.
Smoke dispersion is expected to be very good to excellent across the
mountains and mountain valleys today, and fair to very good across
the plains. Smoke dispersion is expected to be very good to
excellent across the area on Sunday.
