URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
820 PM MDT Fri Oct 4 2024

...BREEZY AND DRY OVER NORTH CENTRAL COLORADO TODAY...

...WINDY CONDITIONS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL CAUSE
WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SATURDAY ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST COLORADO...

Gusty west/northwest winds will spread across the region Saturday,
strongest in the high country and areas within 50 miles of the
Wyoming and Nebraska state lines. Very dry conditions are
expected, with minimum humidity of 8-12% across the lower
elevations, and 10-18% in the high country below 10,000 ft.
Temperatures will also remain very warm, well above seasonal
averages and locally near daily records. Given vegetation has
dried significantly in recent weeks, this combination of factors
will lead to widespread critical fire weather conditions across
the region from late morning through early evening.
