A slight chance for dry thunderstorms remains this evening. Winds
are relatively light at the moment, though gusts up to 25 mph may
occur throughout the afternoon, especially if storms develop
nearby. Tomorrow, a mild uptick in moisture across southwestern
Colorado could provide more opportunities for showers and
thunderstorms near the fire. Storms in the vicinity may produce
strong outflow winds, localized heavy rainfall, and could develop
into efficient lightning-producers.
