High fire danger in southern Colorado

Tonight: Mostly clear skies with low temperatures down to 39 degrees in Colorado Springs and 41 in Pueblo.

Sunday: Plenty of sunshine and warming up to above average temperatures. Reaching 76 degrees in Colorado Springs and 85 in Pueblo. The winds will increase by late morning and early afternoon with gusts ranging between 35-45mph, that combined with the low relative humidity, producing critical fire weather. Fire Weather Warnings are in effect for the vast majority of central/southern/eastern Colorado from noon till 8pm.

Extended: Monday will see even stronger winds with gusts potentially over 50mph along the I-25 corridor. Fire Weather Watches are in effect, but will most likely be upgraded to warnings by tomorrow. A strong cold front will drop through Colorado on Tuesday, bringing rain/snow showers, cool temperatures and again strong winds. Look for most of the precipitation to fall as rain below 7000ft, with a few inches of snow possible across the Palmer Divide and the Rampart Range. The second half of the week we'll slowly recover with temperatures back in the 60s and 70s and sunny skies starting Thursday.
