Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
345 AM MDT Wed Sep 25 2024

.Discussion...

Critical fire weather conditions are not expected for the next 7
days. Above normal temperatures are dry conditions are expected to
remain in place through the majority of the period, with only a
slight chance for mountain showers and storms coming in on Friday.
Humidity values are expected to fall into the upper teens to 20%
range every afternoon, though weak winds should help to limit any
fire weather concerns throughout the forecast period.

Afternoon smoke dispersion rates will be poor to fair today. Rates
begin to improve on Thursday, especially over zones 220, 222, 221,
226, and 227.

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