This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Another day of widespread record breaking warmth can be expected
across southern Colorado today. Critical Fire Weather conditions
will be possible this afternoon across Fremont County and the San
Luis Valley, with more localized elevated fire weather conditions
across Teller county and the southeast mountains. Avoid activities
which could start a wildfire as fires could grow quickly and spread
out of control.
Isolated high based showers will develop over the mountains, and
spread into the adjacent plains. The main risk with these will be
gusty erratic winds up to 40 mph and a brief sprinkle at best.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday
Record warmth continues for Thursday, with more widespread
critical fire weather conditions likely across most of southern
Colorado ahead of a cold front. Humidity values will drop to under
15 percent with winds gusting up to 40 mph resulting in
conditions favorable for rapid fire spread. Winds will shift from
the north to northeast behind a dry cold front during the
afternoon and evening across the southeast plains. Gusts over 40
mph will be possible as the cold front moves through.
After a much cooler day for Friday, temperatures will warm back up
again Saturday through Tuesday. Isolated to scattered showers will
be possible Sunday through Tuesday as some weak disturbances move
through the region, however, any precipitation is likely to remain
light. Spotty critical fire weather conditions will be possible
each day starting back up again on Saturday.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
