...WINDY CONDITIONS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL CAUSE WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING... Gusty west/northwest winds will continue across the area, strongest over the mountains, foothills and northern border plains. Very dry conditions are expected, with minimum humidity of 8-15% across the lower elevations, and 10-18% in the high country below 10,000 ft. Temperatures will be well above seasonal normals. Given vegetation has dried significantly in recent weeks, this combination of factors will lead to widespread critical fire weather conditions across the forecast area this afternoon through early this evening. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 211, 212, 213, 214, 215 and 218. * TIMING...Until 7 PM MDT this evening. * WINDS...West 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 13 percent. * IMPACTS...Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread. Avoid outdoor burning and any activity that may produce a spark and start a wildfire.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now....or will shortly. A combination of strong winds...low relative humidity...and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
