PRODUCE DRY LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH. WHILE THERE
WILL BE A BIT MORE MOISTURE TODAY...THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL WORSEN
THE FIRE DANGER.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
IT WILL REMAIN HOT THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMALS. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL OCCUR
ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...THEN DRIER CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE

THE STORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND LIGHTNING WITH

AND DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST COLORADO...A
SIGNIFICANT RISK OF WILDFIRE STARTS AND EXTREME WILDFIRE BEHAVIOR
WILL CONTINUE.
