..RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM MDT THIS EVENING
DISCUSSION
RED FLAG CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED INTO EARLY EVENING
WITH BREEZY WEST WINDS GUSTING TO 22-28 MPH AND HUMIDITY READINGS
HOLDING AROUND 8-10 PERCENT. WINDS WILL THEN DECREASE BY 7-8 PM AND
TURN MORE SOUTHERLY (DOWNSLOPE). THOSE WINDS WILL THEN HOLD THROUGH
THE REST OF THE NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AT SPEEDS OF 5 TO
8 MPH. HUMIDITY RECOVERY WILL BE POOR OVERNIGHT AND LIKELY ONLY REACH
25-28%.
THURSDAY WILL FEATURE SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO TODAY, WITH POOR
HUMIDITY BUT JUST A SLIGHT DECREASE IN WINDS. THAT WILL KEEP US
JUST UNDER RED FLAG CRITERIA, BUT GIVEN DRYNESS AND POOR HUMIDITY
RECOVERY ACTIVE FIRE BEHAVIOR WILL BE POSSIBLE. HUMIDITY RECOVERY
THURSDAY NIGHT WILL AGAIN BE POOR.
THE VERY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FRIDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THERE WILL ONLY BE A SLOW RELATIVELY IMPROVEMENT IN
HUMIDITY LEVELS TOWARD SATURDAY AND SUNDAY (14-18%). WESTERLY
BREEZES MAY GUST TO AROUND 20 MPH AT TIMES EACH AFTERNOON DURING
PEAK HEATING, BUT THEN BECOME LIGHT SOUTHERLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT
AND EARLY MORNING HOURS EACH DAY.
THE CHANCE OF STORMS OR ANY WETTING RAIN WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF
UNTIL NEXT MONDAY, WITH INCREASING CHANCES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.
