Red Flag Warning Monday August 26

URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
335 PM MDT Sun Aug 26 2018

...WARM AND BREEZY WEATHER WILL INCREASE THE FIRE DANGER MONDAY...

.As warm late summer temperatures continue over northeast Colorado, a weather system approaching Colorado Monday will increase the winds across the mountains and out onto the plains. The combination of temperatures into the lower 90s, humidity levels in the lower teens and gusty winds will cause vegetation to dry out, raising fire danger levels over northeast Colorado. These conditions could lead to dangerous fire behavior if a fire were to get started. Residents are urged to be careful on Monday as any fire start could rapidly grow into a larger problem.
