...HIGH WIND WARNING IS CANCELLED...

The National Weather Service in Denver has cancelled the High
Wind Warning.

The strong, late-Spring storm system that moved over Colorado last
night has been moving eastward and out of the state today. As the
storm leaves, pressure differences across the plains have been
decreasing which has allowed northerly winds to begin diminishing.
Winds are no longer strong enough to cause damage and will 
continue to decrease through this evening. Motorists on the plains
will continue to see gusty crosswinds, especially on I-70 from 
Limon eastward. Use caution if travelling in a high-profile 
vehicle.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Jun 7, 8:37 PM MDT, 6 hours 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 8:37 PM MDT, 6 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
837 PM MDT Sun Jun 7 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 830 PM MDT Sun Jun 7 2020

The convective cloudiness over the western CWA is beginning to
dissipate at this time. The south and southwesterly winds over
much of the CWA are relaxing somewhat as well. Not much else going
on. Will make some sky and wind GFE grid updates.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 344 PM MDT Sun Jun 7 2020

Strong and dry southwest flow remains over the forecast area this
afternoon. There is a little cumulus in the mountains and northern
foothills, perhaps just enough to kick off an isolated shower or storm
late this afternoon or early evening. Gusty southerly winds over
most of the plains will decrease with the loss of daytime heating
and mixing. Mostly clear skies will then prevail overnight, but a
weak cold front will push into northeast Colorado late.

On Monday, anticyclonic upslope flow behind the front will
dominate the low level flow pattern over the plains. Moisture will
remain limited, however, with dewpoints only in the mid 30s to
lower 40s. As a result, MLCAPE will be minimal and just a couple
hundred J/kg. That said, we will have good daytime heating and mid
level instability and rather strong QG forcing in the afternoon.
This will bring a better chance of showers and thunderstorms
especially over the northern mountains and foothills by late
afternoon. Temperatures will be about 15 degrees cooler over most
of the plains behind tonight's cold front.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 344 PM MDT Sun Jun 7 2020

A vigorous upper trough will be moving over the state Monday night
and leaving the state Tuesday morning. This system will contain
very cold air aloft and loads of dynamic forcing due to the sharp
curvature of the trough. In the evening, the surface low pressure
area over southeast Colorado will be reaching it lowest values
which is going to lead to increasing winds through the rest of the
evening, as the cold air contained in the trough spills down onto
the plains. Gusty winds from the north and increasing shower
activity will make for a busy evening weatherwise. Temperatures
aloft will be cold enough to drop freezing and snow levels down
around 7500 feet. This should produce several inches of snow on
the high peaks and a few inches of snow at and below highway pass
levels. Minor impacts to the mountain highways can be expected
through Tuesday morning. Higher locations on the Palmer Divide may
also see a mix of rain and snow Tuesday morning.

Through Tuesday the upper trough is forecast to be moving eastward
out onto the plains which will allow for strong subsidence to move
over the state. This will bring dry weather back to the state.
Temperatures will also be unseasonably cool, only in the 60s on
the plains and in the 30s to lower 50s in the mountains.

The rest of the week will see upper level ridging over the state
with a gradual warming trend. Subsidence will remain strong over
the state, suppressing most shower development through about
Thursday. By Friday and over the weekend, the pattern should
return to normal with a chance of afternoon and evening showers.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 830 PM MDT Sun Jun 7 2020

The south winds are slowly decreasing this evening. Models keep
them going at fairly decent speeds all night. There will be no
ceiling issues overnight.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 344 PM MDT Sun Jun 7 2020

Critical fire weather conditions over the eastern plains, Palmer
Divide, southern foothills, and South Park will gradually ease
between 7 PM and 9 PM this evening as winds weaken.

On Monday, fire danger will decrease in all but the far southern
areas. It looks like South Park and southern Lincoln County will
once again see Red Flag conditions, however, as southerly winds
and the drier/warmer airmass and Red Flag Warnings will retake
those locations for the afternoon.

&&

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Red Flag Warning until 9 PM MDT this evening for COZ214-216-241-

Red Flag Warning from 11 AM to 9 PM MDT Monday for COZ214-247.

...HIGH FIRE DANGER EASTERN PLAINS...PALMER DIVIDE...SOUTHERN
FOOTHILLS...AND PARK COUNTY TODAY...

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Winds will increase across the forecast area today with gusts
reaching 35 to 45 mph in most areas. The strongest winds will be
along and south of the I-76 Corridor and across the mountains and
high valleys. A few spots could see gusts reach 50 mph. Very warm
temperatures can be expected once again with highs reaching the
lower to mid 90s over most of the plains, and upper 60s and 70s in
the mountains.

The combination of heat, dryness, and gusty winds will bring
critical fire weather conditions to the eastern plains, Palmer
Divide, southern foothills, and Park County. Avoid outdoor
burning or any activity that may produce sparks.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

On Monday, another upper level weather disturbance and a strong
cold front will be passing over the northern half of Colorado.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop over the
mountains during the afternoon and move out onto the plains Monday
night. There may be a few strong thunderstorms over the far
northeast plains Monday evening. Showers will end from west to
east by midday Tuesday as the weather system moves out of the
state.

Cool temperatures are expected through Tuesday afternoon with a
gradual warming trend during the latter half of the week. Dry
conditions are expected Wednesday and Thursday and then a slight
chance of late day showers and thunderstorms return Friday and
Saturday.
