DISCUSSION
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS REMAIN EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN COLORADO BEHIND THE DRYLINE. THESE
CONDITIONS COULD LINGER INTO THE EVENING. WHILE CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE BEFORE MIDNIGHT, BE AWARE THAT A COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE
THROUGH OVERNIGHT AND CAUSE A SUDDEN WINDSHIFT TO OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST.
THURSDAY, THE AREA IS FORECAST TO BE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM.
THOSE CLOSER TO THE SYSTEM AROUND CENTRAL KANSAS WILL LIKELY SEE
LIGHTER WINDS AROUND 20 MPH OR LESS WHILE THE REST OF THE AREA HAS
GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH. COMBINING THIS WITH DRIER AIR DROPPING RELATIVE
HUMIDITY INTO THE TEENS AGAIN, CRITICAL CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR
THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE JUST
BEFORE SUNSET.
FRIDAY, ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
FRONT RANGE AND INCREASE WINDS IN EASTERN COLORADO. IF TEMPERATURES
WARM ENOUGH, PARTS OF EASTERN COLORADO MAY SEE CRITICAL CONDITIONS
WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY AGAIN DROPPING INTO THE LOW TEENS. THE WORST
CONDITIONS WOULD BE AROUND THE MID-AFTERNOON.
