DISCUSSION
TODAY, A FRONT FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL BRING IN SUSTAINED WINDS
AROUND 15-20 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30-40 MPH WITH OCCASIONAL SPIKES UP TO
45 MPH. THIS FRONT WILL ALSO BRING IN ADDITIONAL MOISTURE, LIKELY
KEEPING RH VALUES AROUND 20%. DUE TO THE PROLONGED DRY CONDITIONS
AND WINDS, A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SOUTHWESTERN
NEBRASKA, YUMA, CO, AND CHEYENNE (KS). THERE IS ALSO A POTENTIAL FOR
BLOWING DUST TO REDUCE VISIBILITY THIS AFTERNOON.
TOMORROW, RH VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE LOW TO MID TEENS. WINDS WILL
BE WEAKER, BUT GUSTS AROUND 25-30 MPH ARE LIKELY ALONG AND WEST OF
KS 27, AND POSSIBLE ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM GOODLAND, KS
TO MCCOOK, NE. THIS HAS LEAD TO ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF THE PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED LINE AND EASTERN COLORADO.
THE DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL LIKELY THROUGH SATURDAY, AS WILL
WARMING TEMPERATURES. BY FRIDAY, 90 DEGREE TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST.
RH VALUES WILL REMAIN LOW, LIKELY IN THE TEENS UNTIL SUNDAY. FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY, WE COULD SEE GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH RETURN, ESPECIALLY IN
EASTERN COLORADO. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEK.
