A trough moving through the Northern Rockies will cause winds to increase this afternoon and combine with already hot, dry conditions and dry fuels to produce critical fire weather conditions in northwest Colorado and northeast Utah. A Red Flag Warning is in effect this afternoon and evening for those areas.
The National Weather Service is proposing to lower the elevation scan of the WSR-88D Doppler Radar in Grand Junction, CO. This will allow for better scanning of the atmosphere from a radar that is located over 10,000 feet in elevation. These improvements will provide better radar coverage for much of eastern Utah and western Colorado.

A surge of monsoon moisture will gradually spread east today and focus precipitation over western Colorado. Light rain showers will be widespread with locally heavy showers and thunderstorms. High rain may cause rock and mud slides as well as minor flooding.
Hot temperatures will continue today with triple digit heat in some lower elevations. In addition, critical fire weather conditions will occur across most lower elevations of eastern Utah and western Colorado this afternoon and evening.
Spotter Training Classes have been scheduled for the month of August with a few more hopefully coming in September. Keep checking the calendar and save the date.
