mph and humdities drop to the single digits/low teens. Red Flag
Warnings remain in effect for much of eastern Utah and western
Colorado. Many days next week will also see low humdities and
gusty winds so critical fire weather conditions will be possible.

...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
