.DISCUSSION... At least localized critical fire weather conditions 
are expected each day due to widespread low relative humidity 
values and areas with strong afternoon wind gusts. Today the area 
of greatest concern is southwest Colorado, near the Four Corners 
region. Increased shower and thunderstorm activity is forecast 
over higher terrain on Wednesday due a weak moisture push. 
Critical fire weather conditions look to become more widespread on
Thursday.
