Today’s Forecast:
We're focusing on high heat and widespread fire danger today. Red Flag Warnings are in effect for most of Colorado's mountain and valley country with strong daytime winds and low humidity making a fire easy to ignite. The heat will be incredibly high today with most areas along and east of I-25 in the 90s and triple digits.
Fire danger is critical today along our southern mountains, the San Luis Valley, and pretty much all of the central to western half of Colorado. pic.twitter.com/iUIPJmigc3
