Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
302 PM MDT Wed Mar 27 2024

...A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for Friday morning through
Friday evening for Baca County and portions of Las Animas County...

.Discussion...

Critical Fire Weather Conditions are expected for portions of our
plains for the Thursday through Sunday timeframe. For Thursday,
expect spotty near critical fire weather conditions over southern El
Paso County over our normal gap flow prone area, to include Fort
Carson. These conditions are not expected to last three hours, and
will not cover a majority of the zone, therefore, a Red Flag Warning
will not be issued for tomorrow at this time.

For Friday, critical fire weather conditions are limited to our far
southeastern plains, where a Fire Weather Watch has been hoisted for
Friday afternoon for Baca and eastern Las Animas counties.
Southwesterly winds gusting to 35 mph and relative humidities as low
as 13% are expected Friday afternoon over this area. Mostly sunny
skies and daytime temperatures soaring into the mid 70s (that`s
around 8 to 12 degrees above normal depending on location) on our
plains will mean lots of drying for our plains on Friday, which
could set the stage for a more dangerous situation this weekend.

Southwesterly wind gusts up to 50 mph are expected over our southern
mountains on Saturday, and critical fire weather conditions are
likely (70%) for portions of our plains, especially south of highway
50, for both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. With potentially three
days in a row of critical fire weather conditions, Sunday could end
up being a high fire danger day for the public, with wind gusts over
30 mph expected across a majority of our plains.
