537 FNUS55 KPUB 021824 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 1224 PM MDT Tue Jul 2 2024 .Discussion... An upper trough of low pressure across the northern Rockies will keep the threat of convection in place across the district today and tomorrow, as well as seasonal temperatures. Drier air pushes into Colorado on Thursday as northwest flow aloft begins to settle in. Slightly stronger winds combined with dry conditions will produce near critical fire weather conditions, especially across Fire Zones 220 and 222. Friday will start off cooler as another cold front pushes into the area. Then a warming and drying trend is forecast for Saturday through Monday, increasing the potential for high fire danger. Surface-based inversions will begin to break this morning between 0800 and 0900, with ventilation rates improving to Excellent for the higher elevations, and Good for the eastern plains, by 1200. Favorable smoke dispersion is anticipated until 200 this evening. Similar ventilation rates and timing are expected for Wednesday. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-022215- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 1224 PM MDT Tue Jul 2 2024 .REST OF TODAY...
