URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
132 PM MST Sun Feb 25 2024
West winds combined with very low humidity (locally into the
single digits) will continue to produce widespread critical fire
weather conditions across the lower elevations. The strongest
winds and highest fire danger will be focused across areas closest
to the foothills. There, Red Flag conditions may persist for a
prolonged period, extending through late evening as winds increase
late in the day.
On Monday, winds will be stronger, with gusts of 40-50 mph
becoming widespread for the lower elevations. Although some
moderation in humidity levels is anticipated (some warned areas
may bottom out between 15-20%), critical conditions are likely
given the substantial wind speeds.
