Red Flag Warning Tue-Wed
Created by the NWS Cheyenne WFO
4PM 4/20 - Another Red Flag Warning has been issued for Tuesday into Wednesday. On Tuesday, winds will be lighter but very low humidity and the potential for gusty and erratic winds with high-based PM showers will keep fire concerns high. Southwest winds will increase on Wednesday, with gusts of 30 to 45 mph anticipated. With continued very low humidity, wildfire danger will be very high. While humidity will improve Thursday, strong, gusty winds will keep elevated fire concerns in the picture. Expect a break from the fire danger by Friday into early next week.
