Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
358 AM MDT Tue Sep 24 2024

.Discussion...

Critical fire weather conditions are not expected for the next 7
days. A blocking pattern is forecast to setup over the region, which
is likely to keep above normal temperatures and dry conditions in
place over south central and southeastern Colorado throughout the
remainder of the forecast period. Dry conditions are likely, though
weak winds are also expected, which will help to stave off most
potential fire weather concerns.

Afternoon smoke dispersion rates will be fair or better for most
zones today, with excellent rates over the eastern plains. Mostly
poor rates are expected for Wednesday.

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