Very warm and dry conditions are expected today and Saturday. Red flag conditions are expected this afternoon for strong winds and low relative humidity. The strongest winds and driest conditions are expected east of the Divide across Larimer County, though favorable conditions for rapid fire growth are possible across all of the warned area.
Strong winds will again occur on Saturday as well. Gusty winds will develop in the foothills and South Park early Saturday morning, then spread across the plains along the Wyoming border and southward in the afternoon. Relative humidities will remain fairly low with minimal recovery in the foothills overnight. Consequently, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for these areas.
