.DISCUSSION...
Scattered high based cumulus will continue to prevail in the area
though the evening. While the chance of a shower or storm is very
low, outflow boundaries from storms in southern Colorado may
generate briefly gusty north to northeast winds this evening.
Very dry, breezy, and hot weather is expected both Sunday and
Monday, creating near critical fire weather conditions. Winds
will be the limiting factor for critical fire weather both days.
