THIS EVENING...
DISCUSSION
WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 90, RH VALUES
WILL DROP TO AROUND 10% FOR MOST OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS
FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL BE SUSTAINED AROUND 15-20 MPH WITH GUSTS
LARGELY RANGING FROM 25-35 MPH. EASTERN COLORADO IS FORECAST TO SEE
THE STRONGEST WINDS. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF A
RED FLAG WARNING ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. HOWEVER, HIGHEST
CONFIDENCE IN RED FLAG CONDITIONS IS IN EASTERN COLORADO,
SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA, AND ADJACENT COUNTIES. PORTIONS OF
NORTHWESTERN KANSAS WILL SEE BRIEFLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS, BUT MAY NOT REACH THE FULL THREE HOURS.
WINDS WILL BE WEAKENING AFTER SUNSET UNTIL A COLD FRONT MOVES IN FROM
THE NORTH-NORTHWEST. THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE IN AROUND
MIDNIGHT-3 AM MT. WITH THE FRONT, WINDS WILL RAPIDLY BECOME
NORTHWESTERLY AND GUSTS OF 30-45 MPH ARE EXPECTED, WITH ISOLATED
POCKETS UP TO 60 MPH POSSIBLE. THIS MAY REIGNITE ANY SMOLDERING
FIRES. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY
FRIDAY. THANKFULLY, THERE IS A CHANCE AT SOME PRECIPITATION
TOMORROW, ALBEIT VERY LIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, WE EXPECT TO SEE SNOW TO
MIX IN AS FAR EAST AS KS 27 FRIDAY EVENING. OVERNIGHT FRIDAY,
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO DROP INTO THE LOW TO MID 20S. THIS COULD LEAD TO
SLICK SPOTS FROM ANY REMAINING PRECIPITATION, AND WOULD COMPLICATE
FIREFIGHTING EFFORTS.
SATURDAY THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK, RH VALUES LOOK TO BE CRITICAL AND
WINDS FLIRT THE LINE WITH BEING CRITICAL, TOO.
