URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
153 PM MDT Sun Apr 25 2021
...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND MONDAY ON THE EASTERN
PLAINS...
.Warm, dry, and windy conditions will increase the fire danger
over the eastern Colorado plains. The strongest winds will be
southeast and east of Denver both afternoons. On Monday the winds
will pick up earlier, with Red Flag conditions likely before noon.
Over the northeast corner of Colorado, the strength of the winds
are less certain so the Fire Weather Watch will remain in effect
for those areas for Monday. Over the western portion of the plains
closer to Denver the weather conditions will be similar, but the
fuels are beginning to green up in response to the rain and snow
that has fallen recently.
