Fire Weather Watch issued June 26 at 10:18PM MDT until June 28 at 9:00PM MDT by NWS Denver CO ...PROLONGED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY... A warm and dry airmass will coincide with considerably stronger west and southwest winds this weekend, potentially continuing into early next week. Sustained winds are expected to exceed 20 to 30 mph across much of the high country beginning Saturday, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, strongest for exposed areas and higher elevations. These conditions will drive very high fire danger across the warned area, that may extend through the evening hours of Saturday driven by the enhanced winds. Any new starts or established fires will likely spread rapidly under these conditions. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 211, 212, 213, 214, 216 and 218. * TIMING...For the Red Flag Warning, from 11 AM Saturday to midnight MDT Saturday night. For the Fire Weather Watch, from Sunday morning through Sunday evening. * WINDS...Southwest 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 25 to 35 mph. A few gusts up to 45 mph across the far southern Foothills. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...10 to 14 percent. * IMPACTS...Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread. Avoid outdoor burning and any activity that may produce a spark and start a wildfire. A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now....or will shortly. A combination of strong winds...low relative humidity...and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior. A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible Red Flag Warnings.
