Avoid anything that sparks today. Most of Colorado is seeing fire conditions not seen since 2011. It's a perfect storm of low humidity, wind and heat. The NWS is encouraging residents to be prepared for possible evacuations. COwx
Colorado has had very minimal moisture in the last 30 days. Most areas around Denver have only seen a fraction of what typically falls in that time. Denver has been placed back in drought conditions recently after a short stint without them.
After the wet spring we had in 2021, grasses grew big and many of those long grasses are still around now. There have been many fires already this year that have used these grasses as fuel.It has been a very windy month already and although the winds Friday may not be the strongest our area has ever seen, the winds will be the most widespread, especially in recent memory. That means that a lot more people will see just how windy it can get here.
A difference in Friday’s winds is that they’ll be blowing from the south and southwest. This will allow any fires that start to move north and northeast. It is important to know your directions. This southerly wind will also be bringing in some big-time heat. Warmth helps to feed warmth, and these near-record temperatures will be plenty high enough to allow vegetation to dry out even further. It will also help to evaporate even more moisture from the ground. Friday should be our hottest day so far of 2022.If you’ve been using extra ChapStick and lotion lately, you’ll really need it Friday. For a red flag warning to be issued, humidity values have to reach 15% or below.
