...RED FLAG WARNING IS CANCELLED FOR GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 230, 233, AND 237...

The National Weather Service in Pueblo has cancelled the Red Flag
Warning.

Across the far southern plains, the cold front that has been in
place just south of Highway 50 through the day has finally
surged southward and pushed into New Mexico and the Oklahoma
Panhandle. While gusty northerly winds are expected for another
few hours, humidity values have greatly increased, with
observations reading 45-55% humidity across the region. Given
this, the Red Flag Warnings in place across Las Animas and Baca
Counties have been cancelled early.
