Wind, high fire danger for much of Colorado Sunday and Monday

Much of the eastern Colorado plains and central mountains are under a red flag warning for high fire risk Sunday, with similar conditions expected to return Monday for at least part of the area.

Winds are predicted to gust as high as 60 miles per hour. In combination with low relative humidity, any fires that do start could spread rapidly. Humidity may fall as low as 10 percent for parts of Colorado.

Kiowa County weather outlook – week of September 29

It is an interesting forecast that I have for you. We start out with sunny skies, record heat with low 90s and winds gusting over 40 miles per hour for Sunday and Monday. We will start to see the transition to much cooler temperatures Tuesday with a high in the low 70s and lows in the 40s. By Wednesday, high temperatures will only be in the 60s. There will be scattered showers and a thunder shower or two off and on during the week as these fronts move across our area. The coolest night would be Wednesday night, around 40 degrees.
