Fire Weather Warning
Statement as of 3:28 am MDT on May 18, 2012

... Red flag warning in effect from noon today to 8 PM MDT this
evening for gusty winds... low relative humidity... and high Haines
indices for fire weather zone 221...

The National Weather Service in Pueblo has issued a red flag
warning for gusty winds... low relative humidity... and high Haines
indices... which is in effect from noon today to 8 PM MDT this
evening. The Fire Weather Watch is no longer in effect.

* Affected area... fire weather zone 221.

* Winds... southwest 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.

* Relative humidity... as low as 10 percent.

* Impacts... strong winds and low humidities will create
dangerous fire weather conditions in areas with dry fuels. Any
new fire starts will likely exhibit extreme fire behavior and
rapid wildfire growth.

* Haines... 6.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will
create explosive fire growth potential.
