543 FNUS55 KPUB 030411 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 1011 PM MDT Thu May 2 2024 ....A Red Flag Warning remains in effect from 11 AM until 8 PM MDT Friday for the San Luis Valley... .Discussion... Gusty winds, warm temperatures, and low humidity will continue across the San Luis Valley on Friday, leading to continued critical fire weather conditions during the day. More widespread showers and thunderstorms will be possible Friday afternoon and evening over the southeast plains as a cold front pushes through the area from the north, with some storms potentially becoming strong to severe. Saturday will be unsettled, with a stronger low pressure system starting to move into our area on Sunday. This will bring more precipitation to the mountains, mainly the Continental Divide, along with the return of critical fire weather conditions to the San Luis Valley. More widespread critical conditions will be possible for our district again starting on Monday and into next week. Smoke dispersions will be poor tonight and excellent on Friday. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-031015- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 1011 PM MDT Thu May 2 2024 .REST OF TONIGHT...
