Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
929 AM MDT Mon Sep 23 2024

.Discussion...

Critical fire weather conditions are not expected through the next
7 days. Temperatures will be around 10 to 15F degrees warmer today
than they were yesterday, with highs in the near to just above
normal range for most locations. Isolated thunderstorms will be
possible this afternoon, mainly over the San Juans, though wetting
rains are not likely. A cool front drops through our plains
tonight, with slightly cooler temperatures coming in for our
Tuesday.

From Wednesday onwards, expected above normal temperatures and
very little to no chances for precipitation. Though conditions
will be on the dry side, winds are expected to remain weak.

Afternoon smoke dispersions will be fair or better for most zones
today and through most of tomorrow. Rates worsen throughout the
late afternoon and evening on Tuesday for many zones. See specific
zone forecasts below for more details.
