URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
109 PM MDT Thu Jun 25 2026

...PROLONGED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE
HIGH COUNTRY...

A warm and dry airmass will coincide with considerably stronger
west and southwest winds this weekend, potentially continuing
into early next week. Sustained winds are expected to exceed
20 to 30 mph across much of the high country beginning Saturday,
with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, strongest for exposed areas and
higher elevations. These conditions will drive very high fire
danger across the warned area, that may extend through the
evening hours of Saturday driven by the enhanced winds. Any new
starts or established fires will likely spread rapidly under
these conditions.

increase or decrease rapidly at times during the advisory period
due to the very unstable atmospheric conditions.

HEALTH INFORMATION...Public Health Recommendations: If smoke is
thick or becomes thick in your neighborhood you may want to remain
indoors. This is especially true for those with heart disease,
respiratory illnesses, the very young, and older adults. Consider
limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present.
Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is
making you ill. If visibility is less than 5 miles in smoke in
your neighborhood, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.
