180 FNUS55 KPUB 130414 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 1014 PM MDT Wed Jul 12 2023 .Discussion... Above average temperatures and mainly dry conditions are expected across southern Colorado through Thursday with breezy afternoon winds and isolated dry thunderstorms producing spotty near critical fire weather conditions across the mountains and interior valleys. If fuels become critical, then Red Flag Warnings may become necessary. Otherwise, a cold front is still expected to bring an increase in showers and thunderstorms to the southeast mountains and plains from late Thursday into the weekend, along with cooler temperatures. Beyond the weekend, signals are starting to show another dry and hot period for southern Colorado. Afternoon smoke dispersion will reach good to excellent levels across the district on both Thursday and Friday. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-131015- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 1014 PM MDT Wed Jul 12 2023 .REST OF TONIGHT...
