today for the San Luis Valley and portions of the southeast
plains...
...A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for the San Luis Valley
from Thursday afternoon through Thursday evening...
.Discussion...
Hot and dry conditions, combined with strong west to southwest
winds, will produce critical fire weather conditions across
portions of the area today.
An upper level low pressure system will push across the northern
Rockies today, bringing light snow to the higher elevations of
fire zone 220 as well as isolated thunderstorms to the central
mountains, the Palmer Divide and portions of the eastern plains.
One or two of the storms near the Kansas may become strong late
this afternoon and evening.
Unsettled conditions are expected for Friday and Saturday, then
drier and warmer weather returns for Sunday through Tuesday.
Surface-based inversions will begin to break by 0900 this
morning, with ventilation rates improving to Excellent for most
locations between 1300 and 1400 this afternoon, and will remain
such until 1900 this evening. Smoke dispersion for Thursday is
expected to be slightly degraded, and slower to develop.
