More sunshine on tap today for eastern Utah and western Colorado as temperatures warm-up considerably thanks to southwesterly flow.  Tomorrow, an approaching cold front will bring some showers and thunderstorms to the area, mainly north of I-70.  Ahead of the front, winds will pick up for southwestern Colorado and with dry conditions already in place, critical fire weather conditions will be met.  To that end, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for tomorrow afternoon to account for these conditions.  Afternoon showers and storms will occur each afternoon and evening through Saturday.
