...RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM MST /NOON CST/ THIS MORNING TO 7 PM MST /8 PM CST/ THIS EVENING FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONE 252...

Strong westerly winds will spread over the plains of Colorado and
adjacent areas Wednesday late Wednesday through the afternoon.
Strong winds, combined with very dry fuels will promote the
potential for rapid to extreme fire spread. The strongest winds
are forecast across Yuma county through the mid afternoon before
spreading east through the rest of the afternoon. A strong cold
front is expected to sweep across the area around during the mid
to late afternoon, shifting winds to the north- northwest making
any ongoing fire control efforts difficult. High based showers and
isolated storms may pose a dry lightning threat this afternoon as
well along with gusty, erratic winds.
