Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
402 AM MDT Sat Sep 21 2024

.Discussion...

Cooler and wetter conditions remain track, as a storm system
brings widespread rain and thunderstorms, plus higher elevation
snow to the district today and tomorrow. Drier weather with
seasonal temperatures then returns for much of next week, save
for a few possible showers over and near the higher terrain on
Tuesday.

Afternoon smoke dispersion remains highly variable today, with
good to excellent values over the mountains early in the day,
and poor to fair dispersion elsewhere. By mid to late afternoon,
increasing clouds and developing showers will drop all areas to
poor levels. On Sunday, most locations will stay in the fair
to poor level as clouds and low mixing heights linger.

--- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds ---
