672 FNUS55 KPUB 170917 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 317 AM MDT Wed Jul 17 2024 .Discussion... No critical fire weather conditions are expected through the rest of this week. A cold front in place will usher in cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity values today, and help support additional shower and thunderstorm chances over much of southern Colorado this afternoon into the evening. A wetter pattern will be in place for much of the week into the weekend, with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms, along with the risk for heavy rainfall. Smoke dispersion is expected to be poor to good across the area today, and fair to very good on Thursday. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-172230- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 317 AM MDT Wed Jul 17 2024 .TODAY...
