WWUS85 KBOU 052137 RFWBOU URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 337 PM MDT Fri Jun 5 2020 ...DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH HIGH WINDS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY... .Winds will increase significantly Saturday as a storm system moves across the state. While humidity levels will be higher than Red Flag criteria, the strength of winds at 30-40 mph with gusts around 60 mph would be more than sufficient to create danger fire conditions and rapid fire spread. Red Flag Warnings were issued where fuels are driest, or have been reported to carry fire recently. Most mountain and foothill areas should see a period of rain to alleviate fire danger Saturday. Sunday will be drier in all areas, and fire danger will be high once again with gusty winds. Fire highlights may need to be expanded into the foothills and South Park.
