654 FNUS55 KPUB 131005 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 405 AM MDT Thu Jun 13 2024 .Discussion... Critical fire weather conditions are not anticipated due to fuels, although winds and heat will be ramping up for Sunday and through the mid part of next week, which may help to start the drying process for fuels. Today will be even drier and much hotter, with some record heat possible over the plains as high temperatures approach the 105 degree mark for some locations within the Lower Arkansas River Valley. Chances of precipitation with widespread showers and thunderstorms will be likely on Friday as a potent disturbance moves over the district, with a good chance of a wetting rain for most locations. It will be notably cooler as well. On Saturday, it will begin warming back up, with even hotter temperatures expected by Sunday and Monday. There will be a chance of some isolated thunderstorms on Saturday, but then be mostly dry on Sunday and through the mid part of next week. Smoke dispersion will become Very Good to Excellent across the district today, then become Poor tonight, improving to Fair to Good tomorrow. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-132230- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 405 AM MDT Thu Jun 13 2024 .TODAY...
