**423PM MT UPDATE: WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED GRAHAM AND NORTON COUNTIES
FROM THE RED FLAG WARNING AS CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING BOTH FOR
WINDS AND HUMIDITY. ELSEWHERE THE RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS.**
VERY HIGH TO EXTREME FIRE DANGER REMAINS A CONCERN TODAY AND
TOMORROW. FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON, STRONG WINDS FROM THE
NORTHWEST WITH GUSTS OF 50 TO 70 MPH ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE UNTIL
SUNSET. COMBINING THE STRONG WINDS WITH PREVAILING DRY CONDITIONS
AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY DROPPING INTO THE TEENS HAS FAVORED AN
ENVIRONMENT FOR EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH. IF A FIRE STARTS, IT MAY BE
HARD TO SEE AS BLOWING DUST IS EXPECTED TODAY UNTIL THE STRONGEST
WINDS DIMINISH. WIND DIRECTION WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN FROM THE
NORTHWEST WITHOUT ANY SHIFTS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SATURDAY IS
FORECAST TO HAVE WEAKER WINDS WITH GUSTS PEAKING AT 45-55 MPH
(HIGHEST IN EASTERN COLORADO MAY APPROACH 60 MPH). RELATIVE HUMIDITY
ARE MORE LIKELY TO DROP INTO THE LOW TEENS WITH DEWPOINTS FORECAST
TO BE IN THE NEGATIVE TEENS FOR WESTERN LOCATIONS.
SUNDAY CONTINUES THE DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS WITH A REINFORCING
SHORTWAVE. HOWEVER, THE WINDS ARE CURRENTLY FORECAST TO MAX OUT
AROUND 45 MPH AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY AROUND THE MID 20S WITH MOISTURE
MOVING BACK INTO THE AREA. THAT BEING SAID, NO PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND SHORT OF MAYBE A FEW SPRINKLES. WINDS
GUSTS WILL GENERALLY BE PEAKING AROUND THE NOON HOUR EACH DAY. THE
NEXT CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION ARRIVES SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY MORNING WHEN A LIGHT DUSTING OF SNOW MAY OCCUR.
