.Discussion...
Warm and dry conditions will continue across the district into the
weekend, with increasing winds Saturday and Sunday ahead of the next
approaching system. Critical fire weather conditions are likely
across the San Luis Valley and wind-prone locations on Saturday,
then much more widespread across the plains on Sunday. Again, as
previously noted, no fire weather highlights are anticipated at this
time due to fuels still going through green-up.
The upper low system will cross the region Monday and Tuesday,
bringing slightly cooler temperatures and a better chance for some
widespread precipitation. Drying returns on Wednesday, as do
strengthening winds.
Surface-based inversions will break early today, between 0800 and
0900, with ventilation rates improving to Excellent for much of the
district today by 1200 and lasting until 2000. Smoke dispersion
trends for Saturday will have similar timing, with most areas
improving to Very Good to Excellent.
