Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Wrn Colorado and Ern Utah
National Weather Service Grand Junction CO
228 PM MDT Tue Jul 16 2024

.DISCUSSION...High pressure will be drifting out of the southern
Rockies into the Desert Southwest cutting off any direct flow to
the monsoon region of moisture. However enough moisture will be
trapped under this high to keep a threat of daily afternoon
thunderstorms in the forecast. Unfortunately the bulk of these
storms will contain more wind than rainfall and the chance of
widespread wetting rainfall remains low...and fire starts from
lighting will remain a threat.

...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
...THE SMOKE DATA IS CALCULATED FROM AN AVERAGE AT 6000 FEET MSL...
