####018071123#### FNUS55 KPUB 172301 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 501 PM MDT Fri May 17 2024 .Discussion... It will be relatively dry over the district during the next 7 days, especially south of highway 50. It will be breezy most days and RH values will be rather low, so meteorological conditions favorable for extreme fire behavior will be in place, however fuels over nearly all of the district are not favorable. The only area which shows dry fuels is the southern mountain region, and critical fire weather conditions could occur over this area on Monday. Smoke dispersion will be excellent during the afternoon time periods this weekend. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-181015- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 501 PM MDT Fri May 17 2024 .TONIGHT...
