...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON UNTIL 8 PM MDT THIS
EVENING FOR GUSTY WINDS, LOW HUMIDITY AND DRY FUELS FOR COLORADO
FIRE WEATHER ZONES 290, 291, 292, 293, 294 AND 295 BELOW 8500
FEET...
.DISCUSSION...A system passing through today will push back the
heat a bit but low afternoon humidity and gusty winds remain in
place. Localized critical fire weather conditions up North will
be more widespread across the central and southern Colorado fire
zones where Red Flag Warnings are again in effect. After a brief
lull in critical fire weather conditions on Wednesday hotter and
windier conditions return to end out the week. Several days of
critical fire weather is expected which is likely to stress
fuels across the area.
...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
...THE SMOKE DATA IS CALCULATED FROM AN AVERAGE AT 6000 FEET MSL...
