710 FNUS55 KPUB 072054 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 254 PM MDT Sun Jul 7 2024 .Discussion... Updated to issue a severe thunderstorm watch for portions of the Plains. Spotty critical fire weather conditions will continue this afternoon for areas along the Continental Divide and portions of the San Luis Vally due to gusty winds and low humidity values. Showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and drop southeast across the Plains overnight. Lightning, hail and gusty winds will be the main thunderstorm risks. Thunderstorm focus shifts to over the higher terrain Monday through Friday. Daily afternoon and evening storms are expected. Temperatures will also be on the rise through the week with 90s to near 100 on the Plains by Friday into Saturday. Near critical fire weather conditions return to the area next weekend due to low humidity values and hot temperatures, however, winds look to be the limiting factor at this time. Smoke dispersions will be excellent into this evening, becoming poor overnight. Good to very good dispersions are forecast for Monday. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-072215- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 254 PM MDT Sun Jul 7 2024 .REST OF TODAY...
