This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Colorado, southwest
Colorado, west central Colorado, east central Utah, northeast Utah
and southeast Utah.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Hot and dry conditions keep temperatures trending in excess of 5
degrees above average. Terrain based showers and thunderstorms on the
terrain increase this afternoon with dry lightning and gusty
outflows possible under collapsing storms. Wildfire smoke will remain
visible across the southern half of the CWA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Hot and dry conditions will continue through the week. Afternoon
showers and storms on terrain will remain in the forecast, increasing
in coverage through the week. Increased moisture will slowly erode
chances for dry lightning later in the week. Wildfire smoke will
remain visible for much of eastern Utah and western Colorado early
this week. Wetting rains later in the week could help diminish smoke.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.

...AIR QUALITY HEALTH ADVISORY FOR WILDFIRE SMOKE FROM 900 AM
MONDAY UNTIL 900 AM TUESDAY...

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has
issued the following...

WHAT...Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke.

WHERE...Delta, Montrose, San Miguel, Ouray, Gunnison, and southern
Mesa Counties. Locations include, but are not limited to Delta,
Montrose, Nucla, Telluride, Ouray and Gunnison.

WHEN...900 AM Monday July 14 to 900 AM Tuesday July 15

IMPACTS...Multiple wildfires will produce periods of moderate to
heavy smoke across the advisory area through early Tuesday
morning. The heaviest smoke impacts will likely be in close
proximity to the South Rim fire in eastern Montrose County, the
Sowbelly Fire and Turner Gulch fires in southern Mesa County, and
areas directly downwind of the Deer Creek fire in Montrose and San
Miguel Counties.

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.
