...Red Flag Warning for South Park, the Southern Front Range
Foothills, Palmer Divide, east central Colorado, and eastern
Larimer/northwest Weld Counties noon to 8 pm today...
...Fire Weather Watch for much of the same areas for Monday...

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Elevated to critical fire weather conditions will return today
due to warmer, drier, and breezy weather. The most critical
conditions will occur from Park County and Southern Jefferson
County eastward across the Palmer Divide and into east central
Colorado. That`s where wind gusts this afternoon will be near
30 mph. Similar conditions can also be expected from Fort Collins
to the Wyoming border area. In between, including much of the
Denver and Boulder metro area, winds will be somewhat lighter but
it will be just as warm and dry.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Elevated to critical fire weather conditions will remain in place
Monday.

Cooler weather and showers are still in the forecast for Tuesday.
A few inches of snow will be possible from Monday night through
Tuesday night in the mountains, with some travel impacts
especially over the higher passes at night.

Warmer and drier weather will redevelop for Wednesday into
Thursday, with potential for more critical fire weather
conditions.

A storm system will then have an opportunity to bring snow to the
mountains and plains by Friday and Friday night.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
