749 AM MDT Thu Oct 22 2020
...RED FLAG WARNING FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 PM MDT THIS EVENING FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR MIDDLE PARK, SOUTH PARK, AND THE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF BOULDER, GILPIN, CLEAR CREEK, SUMMIT AND PARK COUNTIES...FIRE WEATHER ZONES 212, 213 AND 214...
.Very low dewpoints and strong west-southwest winds over the high mountains and valleys will lead to critical fire weather conditions today as humidities will be in the low to mid teens and winds gusting 25 to upwards of 50 mph at elevations above 10,000 feet. A weather system moving down from the north, which brought a cold front to the plains and lower Front Range foothills, isn`t expected to bring the higher dewpoints to the higher elevations until later this afternoon. Elevations above this cold front on the lee slopes of the Front Range Mountains will be in much drier air, with westerly winds gusting 25 to 40 mph. Conditions over the far northern mountains, including North Park, Rocky Mountain National Park and the upper foothills of Larimer County will be near critical this morning, but improving by noon as the weather system pushes down from the north.
