WWUS85 KBOU 301831 RFWBOU URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 1231 PM MDT Thu Mar 30 2023 ...TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS... .Strong southwest winds have developed this afternoon from Park County eastward across the Palmer Divide area, most of Denver, and some of the adjacent plains. The winds, in combination of drying fuels and very low humidity will create critical fire weather conditions that will last into this evening. Another round of strong, gusty winds can be expected on Friday. This time, those winds will be from the northwest ushering in cooler temperatures. However, the airmass will remain quite dry in the lower elevations so critical fire weather conditions can again be expected in areas that haven't seen appreciable snowfall lately.
