310 PM MST SAT JAN 17 2026
..RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM MST THIS EVENING
..RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CST THIS EVENING
DISCUSSION
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE ONGOING OVER EASTERN COLORADO
AND PARTS OF NORTHWEST KS AND SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON,
MAINLY WEST OF HIGHWAY 25. LOW RH VALUES IN THE TEENS COMBINED WITH
WINDS GUSTING 35-45MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WILL LEAD TO CRITICAL
CONDITIONS AND INCREASED FIRE DANGER. THE RISK SHOULD LOWER THROUGH
THROUGH SUNSET AS WINDS DECREASE AND RH VALUES START TO INCREASE.
STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS OF 30-50 MPH ARE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY AS
WELL, BUT ANOTHER SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO PUSH IN FROM THE NORTH AND
BRING ENOUGH MOISTURE TO INCREASE DEWPOINT INTO THE POSITIVE TEENS
AND 20S. THIS SHOULD INHIBIT THE CHANCES FOR CRITICAL CONDITIONS.
THE STRONG WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE GOING INTO THE NEXT WEEK, WITH MONDAY
AND TUESDAY FORECAST TO HAVE WINDS BELOW 15 MPH AS THE MAIN UPPER
SYSTEM SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST.
