FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR S CNTRL AND SERN COLORADO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
353 AM MDT FRI MAY 9 2008
...A RED FLAG WARNING FOR LOW HUMIDITIES...WIND GUSTS...HIGH
HAINES INDICES AND DRY FUELS...IS IN EFFECT FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONE
224...INCLUDING THE SAN LUIS VALLEY...FROM NOON THROUGH 9 PM...
.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL WEATHER SYSTEM OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EARLY
THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO DROP SOUTHEAST AND WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE REGION TONIGHT. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING GUSTY WESTERLY
WINDS ACROSS ALL OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN TODAY. SOME OF THESE
STRONGER WESTERLY WINDS MAY MAKE IT ONTO THE ADJACENT EASTERN
PLAINS FOR A FEW HOURS THIS AFTERNOON.
A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SAN LUIS VALLEY...ZONE
224...FOR TODAY.
GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RH VALUES WILL ALSO OCCUR
ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS...ZONE 225...
AND POSSIBLY THE I-25 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE REASON WHY I
DID NOT ISSUE A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THESE AREA IS QUITE A FEW OF
THESE AREAS RECEIVED CONSIDERABLE MOISTURE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND
I AM NOT TOO SURE THE FUELS PAGE IS ACCURATE. WE MAY NEED TO ISSUE
A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THESE AREAS LATER THIS MORNING IF THE FUELS
ARE INDEED DRY OVER THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS.
LATER TONIGHT...ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. THIS
FRONT WILL BRING LOWER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER RH VALUES ACROSS THE
ENTIRE DISTRICT FOR SATURDAY.
THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT WEATHER SYSTEM WHICH COULD BRING METEOROLOGICAL
CONDITIONS FOR EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR TO THE REGION WILL BE ON MONDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE 80S WITH STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
FORECASTED. ANOTHER STRONG FRONT WILL THEN CROSS THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT.
