...STILL DRY AND BREEZY WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...
.There will be a slight increase in moisture over the central Colorado mountains today, but conditions will still be warm, dry, and breezy. The added moisture will produce a few thunderstorms, most likely over and east of the Continental Divide. These storms will produce outflow wind gusts as high as 50 mph that may spread far from the parent storms. In addition, isolated dry lightning is expected this afternoon. Fire management officials should be prepared for sudden changes in the wind as well as the possibility of new fire starts this afternoon. Conditions should improve before sunset as thunderstorms move east of the area.
