Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Elevated to critical fire conditions will be in place today with
the most critical areas near the Wyoming border. Wind gusts up to
30 mph will occur near the Wyoming border. Record highs will occur
in some areas this afternoon.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Critical fire weather conditions will be widespread Saturday,
particularly for the urban corridor, foothills and high mountain
valleys due to the combination of record-breaking March heat,
exceptionally low humidity, and breezy west winds with gusts up to
35-45 mph.

Critical fire weather conditions will become increasingly likely
Monday into Wednesday next week as heat and winds build again
following a modest cooldown on Sunday.
