965 FNUS55 KPUB 220917 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 317 AM MDT Tue Apr 22 2025 .Discussion... The chances for thunderstorms will gradually increase across the central and southeast mountains and southeast plains through the end of the work week with the potential for a few strong to severe thunderstorms possible across the plains. Thunderstorms will be more isolated and less likely to produce wetting rains across the southwest mountains and San Luis Valley where spotty critical fire weather conditions will be possible at times. Temperatures will remain around or above normal through the period. A stronger storm system will approach the area over the weekend bringing warmer and windier conditions to the area and the potential for more widespread critical fire weather conditions on Sunday. A better chance for rain and higher elevation snow may arrive early next week. Afternoon dispersions will rise into the very good to excellent categories for all areas on Tuesday but will be slightly lower (Good to Very good) across the plains on Wednesday. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-222215- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 317 AM MDT Tue Apr 22 2025 .TODAY...
