.Discussion...
High fire danger continues today, with very strong winds and very dry
air in place over the forecast area this afternoon and early
evening. A Red Flag Warning remains in place over the San Luis
Valley, Fremont County, the eastern mountains, and the southeast
plains. A High Wind Warning also remains in effect for the San
Luis Valley, Fremont County, the eastern mountains, and the
southern I-25 corridor. Please avoid activities that could start a
fire today!
On the opposite side, winter weather continues around Lake County
this afternoon and early evening with 1-3 inches of additional
snow accumulation along with 25 to 40 mph wind gusts.
Critically dry conditions persist for the San Luis Valley on
Wednesday. For the this reason, a Red Flag Warning has been issued
for the valley on Wednesday. The eastern mountains, eastern Las
Animas, and Otero County, remain in a Fire Weather Watch due to the
possibility of weaker winds in those areas on Wednesday.
Chances of precipitation will increase Thursday through Saturday
over the district, with a mitigation to the fire weather threat as
cooler temperatures and higher RH values return.
Afternoon smoke dispersion rates will be excellent both today and
tomorrow.
