Mountains, mid-Arkansas River Valley, Wet Mountains and Wet Mountain
Valley, and I-25 corridor from Pueblo County to the New Mexico
border. Fuels are still critical in the San Luis Valley and portions
of the SE Plains, thus with min relative humidity values in the
lower teens and strong winds, fire weather conditions will be in
place tomorrow, and again on Wednesday for these locations. Some
snow is possible over the central mountains. Chances of
precipitation will increase Thursday through Saturday over the
district, with a mitigation to the fire weather threat as cooler
