...RED FLAG WARNING TODAY FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM FOR THE NORTHEAST
HIGHLANDS, AND THE EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST PLAINS, DUE TO
STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...
...RED FLAG WARNING WEDNESDAY FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM FOR THE NORTHEAST
AND CENTRAL HIGHLANDS, AND THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS,
DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH WEDNESDAY FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM FOR THE MIDDLE
RIO GRANDE VALLEY DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY...
.Strong to damaging southwest and west winds will impact eastern
areas today with critical fire weather conditions. Peak wind gusts
of 55 to 70 mph with minimum humidities from 14 to 25 percent
will enable rapid fire spread in fine fuels. Another day of strong
to potentially damaging southwest winds is expected on Wednesday,
when humidities will drop between 8 and 22 percent across central
and eastern NM. Winds will weaken some while shifting out of the
northwest on Thursday, and humidities will climb some, but there
is a roughly 25 percent chance that critical fire weather
conditions will return to some areas east of the central mountain
chain.

expected Sangre de Cristo mountains. Strong westerly winds of 55
to 65 mph will spread across the high mountain valleys and the
southeast plains through the morning, and remain gusty through the
afternoon before diminishing into the evening. These winds may
cause difficult travel for light and high profile vehicles. In addition
to strong winds producing Critical Fire Weather conditions across
the plains this afternoon, blowing dust will also be possible, which
could cause sudden drops in visibility and dangerous travel conditions.
Moderate, to at times heavy wind driven snow continues across the
higher terrain of Continental Divide through the day, keeping hazardous
travel conditions in place across the higher terrain. Snow tappers
off this afternoon and evening before picking up again later tonight.
Additional accumulation`s of 6 to 12 inches will be possible across
the Southwest mountains, with additional accumulations of 3 to 6 inches
for the higher terrain of Central mountains.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday
Critical fire weather conditions continue across portions of southeast
Colorado Wednesday and Thursday, as gusty winds and low humidity values
continue across the region.
Another round of moderate to at times, heavy snow continues across
the higher terrain of the Continental Divide on Wednesday, with wind
driven snow, keeping hazardous travel conditions in place over the
mountains.
Snow chances will remain in place across the higher terrain into the
weekend, with the greatest coverage expected along the Continental
Divide.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central Kansas,
south central Kansas, southwest Kansas, and west central Kansas.
.DAY ONE...Tuesday.
Dangerous wildfire conditions are expected Tuesday afternoon,
especially west of US 283. Unseasonably warm temperatures in the
70s will drive minimum relative humidity to 10-15%. Intense
southwest winds are expected after 10 am, averaging 30-40 mph,
with gusts of 60-70 mph west of US 283. This combination will
create a volatile wildfire environment, especially west of US 283,
and especially once the expected cirrus canopy clears during the
afternoon. Avoid all outdoor burning. Emergency managers, fire
managers, and fire crews in the field should prepare for
operations Tuesday afternoon. Any ignition will have potential for
becoming a wildfire quickly, spread rapidly, and exhibit extreme
fire behavior. Areas of blowing dust will reduce visibility and
make travel difficult.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.
Additional fire weather concerns are expected Wednesday, although
at a lower intensity compared to Tuesday.
Some snow accumulations are possible Friday night.

Spotters may be required Tuesday afternoon to monitor wildfire
