Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Another disturbance will move over northern regions today. A few
showers and storms are possible up north but coverage looks to be
minimal at best. Gusty surface winds are expected again today as
deep mixing allows winds aloft to reach the surface. Like
yesterday, dry fuels and low humidities will remain in place
causing critical fire weather conditions. A Red Flag Warning is in
place this afternoon and evening to account for the fire weather.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

High pressure will build back in Thursday and beyond keeping
precipitation chances low through Tuesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
