...A Red Flag Warning remains in effect from Noon to 8 PM today
for portions of the area...
.Discussion...
A low pressure system moving in will create strong and gusty
southwesterly winds across most of the district, with the only
exception being over the far eastern plains where southeasterly
winds will remain in place. The southwesterly winds will help to dry
out the lower levels and cause RH values to tank across most areas.
Because fuels are still critical for lower elevations (below 7500
ft) in vicinity of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and within the Wet
Mountain Valley, these areas will be susceptible to critical fire
weather conditions by later this afternoon and through the early
evening until RH values recover. There could be a few thunderstorms,
which may become severe, across the far eastern plains by later this
afternoon and through the early evening. Some of these storms may
produce hail up to 2 inches in diameter, as well as strong and gusty
winds up to 60 mph. There will also be snow moving in across the
higher terrain, with a few inches possible for the central and
southwest mountains through tomorrow.
A few snow showers across the highest elevations and chances of
thunderstorms will continue to be possible, mainly north of Highway
50, from Wednesday through Sunday. Otherwise, most of the district
will remain dry through next week. There could be critical fire
weather conditions again for lower elevations (below 7500 ft) in
vicinity of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and within the Wet
Mountain Valley on Thursday during the afternoon and early evening.
Smoke dispersion will become Excellent across the district by later
this morning, then become Poor by later this evening and through
tonight, and then will return to being generally Very Good to
Excellent again tomorrow.
--- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds ---
