The National Weather Service in Pueblo has issued a Red Flag
Warning for strong winds, low relative humidity, dry fuels, and 
lightning, which is in effect from noon to 8 PM MDT Tuesday. The 
Fire Weather Watch is no longer in effect.

* Affected Area...Fire Weather Zones 226...227...228...229... 
  230...231...232...234 and 235.

* Relative Humidity...As low as 15 to 20 percent.

* Temperatures...From the middle 60s to the lower 70s.

  fires.

* Impacts...Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread and
