Heavy Precipitation in the West; Wintry Mix in the North; Fire Weather in the High Plains

Pacific moisture will continue to bring locally heavy coastal/lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow to the West Coast and portions of the Intermountain West through Monday. A wintry mix will create hazardous travel across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest into early Monday. Dry, gusty winds are resulting in elevated to critical fire weather in the south/central High Plains. Read More >

Critical Fire Weather conditions are likely again on Sunday across far southwest Colorado including the Cortez and Durango areas. The rest of the area will see higher relative humidity due to a passing disturbance and cold front.  Any new fire starts could have the potential to grow rapidly and become very difficult, or nearly impossible to control.
