DISCUSSION
SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH GUSTS OF 25-35 MPH AND SUSTAINED WINDS OF
15-20 MPH. WINDS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD DECLINE AS THE SUN
SETS BUT THERE ARE SOME HINTS THAT A CORRIDOR OF WINDS GUSTING AROUND
25 MPH MAY CONTINUE FROM COLORADO FIRE ZONE 254 UP THROUGH NEBRASKA
ZONE 82. SHOULD THIS OCCUR THEN AN EXTENSION OF THE RED FLAG WARNING
MAY BE NEEDED. LIMITED HUMIDITY RECOVER IS FORECAST THIS EVENING
BEFORE A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH AS HUMIDITY MAY NOT RECOVER ABOVE
25% UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. THE FRONT WILL BRING A WIND SHIFT
TO THE NORTH AND INCREASE WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 45 MPH. THE FRONT IS
FORECAST TO MOVE INTO COLORADO ZONE 252 AND NEBRASKA ZONE 79 BETWEEN
12A-3AM MOUNTAIN TIME. BE AWARE THAT LOW TEMPERATURES ACROSS EASTERN
COLORADO ARE FORECAST TO FALL TO NEAR FREEZING.
FRIDAY, WINDS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY GUSTING 30-40
MPH WITH THE STRONGEST DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT HUMIDITY WILL
INCREASE AND REMAIN ABOVE 25% FOR THE ENTIRE AREA MITIGATING FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS. SOME LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW IS POSSIBLE AS WELL!
STRONG SIGNAL FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES AS WELL FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO
SATURDAY MORNING.
SATURDAY, FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY RETURN AGAIN AS A DRY AIR MASS
IS FORECAST TO BE IN PLACE. WIND GUSTS ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND
25-35 MPH BUT HAVE NOTICED A WEAKENING TREND. IF THAT TREND DOES
CONTINUE THEN CRITICAL CONDITIONS WOULD LESSEN.
