DISCUSSION
TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY, RH VALUES, ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN COLORADO,
WILL DROP BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS. WINDS WILL BE THE DECIDING FACTOR
FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THIS TIME PERIOD.
TODAY, A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEE ISSUED FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND
NORTH OF U.S. 36, AND GRAHAM COUNTY (KS ZONE 16). WINDS FROM THE
NORTHWEST GUSTING AROUND 25-35 ARE EXPECTED IN THE LATE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION. AREAS IN THE WARNING WILL SEE 25-
30 MPH GUSTS CONTINUE UNTIL AROUND SUNSET AS RH VALUES DROP INTO THE
LOW TEENS. AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARNING WILL SEE WINDS WEAKEN TO
AROUND 15-20 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON, WHEN RH VALUES REACH CRITICAL
LEVELS. BRIEFLY CRITICAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF THE
WARNING.
LATE THIS EVENING, WINDS WILL WEAKEN AND SHIFT TO BE COMING FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP BELOW FREEZING,
WHICH MAY COMPLICATE FIRE FIGHTING.
SUNDAY, GREELEY AND WICHITA COUNTIES (KS 41 & 42) COULD SEE
OCCASIONAL GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH, LEADING TO BRIEFLY CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITION, HOWEVER THE STRONGER WINDS LOOK TO REMAIN
SOUTHWEST OF OUR AREA. AFTER THAT, WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE NEXT
MAIN DAY OF CONCERN. THIS IS ALSO OUR NEXT LOW CHANCE AT SEEING
PRECIPITATION AND STORMS.
