central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Strong winds are expected to develop later this morning over parts

generally east of a line from Ramah to Las Animas to east of
Springfield. The overall strongest wind gusts are expected to
occur over Kiowa and northern Prowers counties. Gust to 65 mph
will be possible.

The strong winds across parts of the plains today will likely
cause blowing dust to occur, which could restrict visibility
to a quarter mile or less.

Critical fire weather conditions will also be possible today
across Kiowa and Prowers counties, and a Red Flag warning is in
effect for these two counties. Across parts of the San Luis valley
and along the I-25 corridor, spotty elevated fire weather
conditions will be possible.
