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 >

RED FLAG WARNINGS in effect for much of Western Colorado and Portions of Northeastern Utah from 10 am to 10 pm Friday

Temperatures will be cooler today but humidity will remain low, which when combined with windy conditions will result in a high fire danger for areas with dry vegetation. Existing fires and new fire starts will be very difficult to control. Any kind of open burning is strongly discouraged.
