Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
335 AM MDT Fri Oct 17 2025

.Discussion...

It will be mild and dry over the next several days with near
normal temperatures returning to above normal for Sunday and
Monday. A widespread light freeze will be possible Sunday morning
across the southeast plains.  Breezy winds will return at times
in and near the mountains Saturday through Monday resulting in
spotty near critical fire weather conditions along the I-25
corridor and upper Arkansas River Valley. But conditions may be
too spotty and brief to warrant Fire Weather Highlights.
Temperatures will cool off again for Tuesday with temperatures
staying near normal through the end of the week.  Isolated showers
and thunderstorms return to the forecast mid to late week but
precipitation amounts look light.

Afternoon dispersions will rise into the fair to good range for
most of the district today, and into the good to excellent range
for Saturday.

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