The National Weather Service in Grand Junction has cancelled the Fire Weather Watch for Monday for the west central Colorado fire zone 203.
However... a red flag warning remains in effect until 8 PM MDT today for the west central Colorado fire zone 203 below 7000 feet elevation for gusty winds and low humidity. This includes the Interstate 70 corridor and Grand Valley.
Southwest winds will continue to strengthen throughout the late afternoon hours today. Wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph along with relative humidity of 10 to 15 percent are expected throgh early evening. These will combine with dry fuels below 7000 feet elevation to create the potential for dangerous fire growth late this afternoon and early evening in the warning area.
The Fire Weather Watch for Monday below 7000 feet for the west central Colorado fire zone 203 has been cancelled. While strong gusty winds are expected Monday... humidity will not remain below criteria long enough before a cold front sweeps through in the mid- afternoon hours.
A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now... or will shortly.
