554 AM MDT Wed Jun 26 2024

...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM MDT THURSDAY...

.DISCUSSION...

For today, showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the
entire zones. Storms that do develop could produce strong gusty
erratic winds and heavy rainfall. Heavy rain could lead to flash
flooding especially in burn scar areas. The 20ft winds will be
light to breezy and temperatures above the normal. Tonight
recovery will be good to excellent. For Thursday, showers and
thunderstorms will continue especially during the afternoon and
evening hours. The 20ft winds will continue to be light to breezy
with above average temperatures. For the rest of the period,
there will be daily chances for showers and thunderstorms in
mountains areas west of the Rio Grande. With that said, there will
be no fire weather concerns throughout the period.
