Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
222 PM MDT Sat May 18 2024
.Discussion...
Dry, warm and somewhat windy conditions are forecast across the
district for Sunday and Monday, leading to spotty critical fire
weather conditions. However, latest fuels data indicates green up
therefore no fire weather highlights are in effect. There will be
a chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms both
days, with a few of the storms possibly becoming strong across
the eastern plains and Pikes Peak region.
An upper low pressure system will cross the region Tuesday,
bringing a slight cool down as well as some light mountain snow
and a better chance for showers and thunderstorms to much of the
area. A warming and drying trend returns by Thursday and is
expected to last into the following weekend.
Poor ventilation rates are expected across the district this
evening after 1900 and remain in place until inversions begin to
break tomorrow morning between 0800 and 0900. Excellent smoke
dispersion is anticipated for the entire area by 1200 and persist
through the afternoon. Similar smoke dispersion is forecast for
Monday.
--- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds ---
