Extended outlook forecast:
Tuesday once again brings fire danger, more centralized to the San Luis Valley. Temperatures will remain warm and above average in southern Colorado on Tuesday. Conditions become a bit more active next week. There is a slight chance of some afternoon thunderstorms on Tuesday ahead of the next storm system moving in on Wednesday. It will be windy on Wednesday which will crank up fire danger again, but in juxtaposition, there will be a decent chance of afternoon thunderstorms as well. Thursday may bring some lingering showers and temperatures will cool a bit back to seasonable levels. Friday for now appears to be dry before another round of cooler air and showers move in by next weekend. There is a fair amount of uncertainty with the late-week forecast, so stay up to date with First Alert 5.
