High Fire Danger Today and Tomorrow

Dry, windy and hot weather will spread across southern CO over the weekend, bringing a return of critical fire weather conditions. Red Flag Warnings are in effect for the mountains and interior valleys for Today, with a fire weather watch for the same area on Sunday.
