.Discussion...
No critical fire weather conditions are expected over the next
several days. Humidity values will hover around 15 percent for
areas west of the I-25 corridor, though winds will remain rather
light the next several days and should stay below the 25 mph gust
threshold. Given lighter winds, no widespread critical fire weather
conditions are anticipated. In addition, daily afternoon showers and
storms are expected through Tuesday, particularly across the
mountains, before slightly hotter and drier weather returns from
Wednesday onward.
Smoke dispersion rates today and tomorrow will vary from Good to
Excellent across the district.
--- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds ---
