.DISCUSSION...Temperatures will continue to warm to above normal
through early week and remain there. This will allow for lower
afternoon humidity and deeper mixing and some gusty afternoon
winds leading to localized critical fire weather conditions 
each day. A moisture push by midweek look to lead to daily 
afternoon thunderstorms over the high divide mountains of 
Colorado through the end of the week. Lightning and gusty
outflow winds will be daily threats.
