900 FNUS75 KBOU 021050 FWSBOU Spot Forecast for Forsythe II - Unit 44...USFS National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 450 AM MDT Sun Jun 2 2024 If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION... This morning will see mostly sunny skies before becoming increasingly cloudy around noon. Winds are expected to be westerly with gusts up to 25 mph possible until 1300 when a slight chance of thunderstorms develops. If storms develop, they are expected to be high-based with gusty and erratic winds. With today forecast to be the warmest day of the year thus far, relative humidities are expected to drop into the low teens. As this location seems to respond very effectively to cloud cover, the increasing clouds through the afternoon could help keep temperatures a little cooler than forecast and RH a touch higher than the 13% that is expected. Monday looks to see improving conditions as RH values are expected to climb above 20% and winds will be generally light and from the west until another chance for afternoon thunderstorms initiates after 1500 that could bring gusty and erratic winds. .REST OF TODAY...
