Red flag warnings continue for portions of the eastern plains of Colorado Sunday, with dry and unseasonably warm temperatures expected to continue through the work week for most of the state.

Eastern Plains

Cheyenne, Kit Carson and Yuma counties are under a red flag warning until 4:00 p.m. Sunday. Northwest winds will be gusting up to 25 miles per hour, and the humidity could fall as low as eight percent, which could cause any fires that start to spread rapidly.

While red flag conditions have not been met across the remainder of the region, fire danger is still high as temperatures hit the mid-60s under the impacts of an upper-level high pressure system. Overnight, low temperatures will fall into the 20s.

Increased fire danger returns Monday for most of the eastern plains, and additional red flag warnings are possible.

Similar conditions are expected throughout the week, with some hints of a change in the weather next weekend.

West Slope

Though not as warm as the eastern half of the state, western Colorado can expect daytime highs in the upper 40s to low 50s over the coming days. The northwest corner will be about ten degrees cooler, with highs in the mid-30s to low 40s. Overnight lows will fall into the teens, with single digits expected around the Craig area.

Dry conditions and mostly clear skies are projected at least through the middle of the week.
