This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Spotty critical to near critical fire weather conditions will be
possible across the San Luis Valley, and eastern Fremont and
Huerfano Counties this afternoon, though conditions are expected
to be brief and highly localized. Otherwise, record high
temperatures are likely to be broken again across southern CO as
temperatures climb into the 80s across the plains and 70s for the
valleys.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday
Critical fire weather conditions will be possible across the valleys
and southeast mountains on Wednesday as humidity levels drop below
15 percent and winds gust above 25 mph. Record breaking warmth is
expected once again as high temperatures climb back into the lower
90s across the plains with 70s and 80s for the valleys.
More widespread critical fire weather conditions will be possible
for Thursday ahead of a sharp cold front which will move through the
southeast plains during the afternoon and evening. Timing of the
cold front will play a key role in how expansive critical fire
weather conditions will be across the southeast plains. Winds
behind the front could gust up to 50 mph or stronger and areas of
blowing dust will be possible across the eastern most counties.
After much cooler temperatures for Friday, temperatures warm back up
again with near critical fire weather conditions possible each day.
Isolated to scattered showers will be possible Sunday and Monday
with the best chance across the mountains, though any rainfall will
be light.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
