FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR S CNTRL AND SERN COLORADO  
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO  
1029 AM MST SAT JAN 4 2025  
 
A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE RATON MESA REGION FOR  
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.  
   
DISCUSSION
 
 
A WINTER SYSTEM WILL IMPACT SOUTHEAST COLORADO THROUGH TODAY AND  
TOMORROW, GIVING US A MIXED BAG OF WEATHER-RELATED IMPACTS.  
 
LOOKING AT FIRE WEATHER, DRY AIR WILL BE PRESENT OVER THE SOUTHERN I-25  
CORRIDOR. COUPLED WITH GUSTY WEST WINDS MOVING THROUGH GAP FLOW AREAS,  
A FEW HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON,  
ACCOMPANIED BY A RED FLAG WARNING.  
 
ELSEWHERE, WIND-DRIVEN SNOW IS EXPECTED ALONG WITH SOME POCKETS OF  
BRIEF FREEZING PRECIPITATION OVER KIOWA AND PROWERS COUNTIES. VISIBILITY  
WILL BE LOW AT TIMES AND TRAVEL IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED.  
 
COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, WITH  
INTERMITTENT GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED. HOWEVER, MOISTURE SHOULD REMAIN  
PLENTIFUL ENOUGH TO AVOID MORE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS  
AT THIS TIME.  
 
SMOKE DISPERSIONS WILL BE FAIR TO GOOD TODAY AND SUNDAY OVER THE HIGHER  
TERRAIN AND THE SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR DUE TO GUSTY SURFACE WINDS.  
OVER THE REST OF THE EASTERN PLAINS, DISPERSIONS WILL BE POOR  
TODAY AND SUNDAY.
