High Winds in Colorado Create Fire Danger
A Red Flag warning has been issued for most of the Eastern Plains and the Front Range in Colorado due to high winds and low humidity.
The National Weather Service has issued the warning, which means weather conditions are favorable for wildfires to ignite and spread quickly.
Strong wind gusts are expected to continue throughout the afternoon “with winds weakening after sunset,”
said Russell Dannielson, a meteorologist with the NWS in Boulder. The warning is in effect until 6 p.m.
- Wind gusts reaching up to 60 miles per hour
- Humidity levels remaining critically low
- Dry weather across eastern Colorado, with dried-out vegetation
This is the first Red Flag Warning issued this month, according to Dannielson.
