What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this red flag 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 red flag warning went out at May 7, 8:47 PM MDT, 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 8:47 PM MDT, 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
847 PM MDT Sat May 7 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 821 PM MDT Sat May 7 2022

Our cold front roared through a little faster than expected. The
strongest winds are already moving out of our area. The weak
showers over the mountains should mostly dissipate as they move
eastward, though some sprinkles are possible, mainly north of
Denver. There are also some sprinkles/virga near the eastern
border, but the threat of thunder should be limited to Sedgwick
and Phillips counties, and the severe threat shifted quickly east
with the dryline. Only minor changes are needed at this time for
timing.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 251 PM MDT Sat May 7 2022

Satellite shows increasing high clouds across the forecast area,
while a cold front is moving east across Wyoming and northwest
Colorado. This cold front will push across the plains early to mid
evening, with gusty southwest winds ahead of the front shifting to
northerly but still quite gusty behind it for an hour or two.
Winds and critical fire weather conditions will then subside.

There is still a threat of an isolated severe storm over the
northeast corner of the state after 6 pm this evening as the cold
front intersects with the dryline. Dewpoints in the upper 40s and
lower 50s were lurking just to the east, and some convective
allowing models bring this moisture and MLCAPE of 1000 J/kg back
to the far northeast corner (Sedgwick and Phillips Counties).
Large hail/wind would be the primary threat if a stronger storm
develops, as LCLs are rather high limiting the tornado threat
despite strong low level 0-1 km shear.

Meanwhile, mountain showers will become more numerous mainly
north of the I-70 Corridor as cold, moist advection occurs. We
could see a couple inches of snow tonight in the higher elevations
along/north of a Rabbit Ears Pass to RMNP line. Isolated showers
and/or a high based storm will be possible elsewhere, but this
would be mostly virga.

On Sunday, temperatures will be cooler thanks to tonight's cold
front. It will still become windy from Park County eastward
across the Palmer Divide area with gusts of 30 to 45 mph again.
See Fire Weather section. Farther north (roughly from Denver to
the north and east across the plains), winds should be lighter
thanks to a cooler and slightly more stable airmass behind the
front. A developing Denver Cyclone/shear zone could also delay
mixing, and HRRR and several other models are likely overdoing the
mixing and westerly wind transition at least through mid/late
afternoon. A few more showers/high based storms will be possible
over the northern border area in proximity to the upper level
trough speed max.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 251 PM MDT Sat May 7 2022

Strong southwesterly flow aloft is expected for the CWA Sunday
night into early Tuesday with upper ridging over the Mississippi
Valley and upper troughing over the northwestern United States.
The flow aloft will decrease and become more southerly later on
Tuesday and Tuesday night as the upper trough digs into the Great
Basin. There is some synoptic scale upward energy progged for the
CWA Sunday night, then downward energy is expected Monday. Benign
energy is progged after that well into mid week.

Moisture-wise, there is some around in the lower levels of the
mountains and northern border areas Sunday night. Otherwise, it
looks very dry through Tuesday night. The low level winds are
dominated by downsloping Monday. There may be some weak cooling
and easterly low level flow on Tuesday.

So the main weather issue will be elevated to critical fire weather
conditions all week, especially over the southern half of the CWA
where wind speeds look greatest.

Temperatures look a bit cooler on Monday compared to Sunday. with
slightly cooler readings again on Tuesday.

For the later days, Wednesday through Saturday, there is still the
south-southwesterly flow aloft for the CWA Wednesday.  The upper
trough weakens significantly and moves across on Thursday, then a
bit better looking upper trough moves in later Friday and Saturday
morning. Upper ridging is in place later Saturday. Moisture is
lacking, but there is a slight increase Thursday into next
weekend. Just enough to leave the "isolated" pops going. Again,
Thursday and Friday look to have elevated and critical fire
weather conditions.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 821 PM MDT Sat May 7 2022

VFR through Sunday. There is a chance of ceilings around 6000 ft
AGL for a few hours between 05z and 09z. Winds will decrease this
evening and turn easterly, then increase from the south or
southeast on Sunday with gusts up to 25 knots at KDEN/KAPA after
21z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 251 PM MDT Sat May 7 2022

Red Flag conditions will continue into mid evening from South
Park and the Southern Front Range Foothills into the Palmer
Divide, while at the same time a cold front will drop south across
the plains with shifting and gusty winds. The Red Flag should be
allowed to expire at 9 pm as winds slowly subside with increasing
humidity behind the front, while also slowly subsiding over the
higher elevations with the loss of daytime heating and mixing.
Good humidity recovery can be expected across the plains
overnight, while only moderate recovery is anticipated in the
foothills and Park County.

Critical Red Flag conditions are expected to develop again on
Sunday, this time mainly confined to areas from South Park across
the Palmer Divide and eastward through about Lincoln County.
Farther to the north and east, the frontal passage and slightly
cooler weather will favor less mixing and lighter winds across
the rest of the plains. Denver into eastern Adams, Arapahoe, and
Washington Counties could be on the edge toward late afternoon,
while areas farther north will have lighter winds and sufficient
humidity.

A dry airmass will be in place over the forecast area most of
next week. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are
expected, especially over the south half of the forecast area
through Tuesday, then over most of the forecast area Wednesday
through Friday. Nuances with the wind speeds through the week will
dictate where the Red Flag Watches and Warnings will be posted.

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING FOR SOUTH
PARK, THE SOUTHERN FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS, PALMER DIVIDE, AND MOST
OF THE NORTHEAST PLAINS OF COLORADO...

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Record to near record temperatures, gusty winds to 30 to 45 mph,
and very low humidity will bring critical fire weather conditions.
Avoid any outdoor burning or activity that may produce a spark
and start a wildfire. The strongest winds and most critical
conditions can be expected from Park County across Jefferson and
Douglas Counties.

This evening, an isolated severe thunderstorm will be possible
on the northeast plains, mainly in Phillips and Sedgwick
Counties. Primary hazards would be large hail and damaging winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Fire danger will be at or near critical levels again on Sunday
from Park County eastward across the Palmer Divide. Farther north
and east temperatures will be a little cooler with somewhat
lighter winds and a slight improvement in humidity. Expect
scattered showers and a few thunderstorms late Sunday into early
Monday over the mountains and far northern plains.

Warmer than normal temperatures will persist into next week, with
elevated to critical fire weather conditions persisting especially
in areas that have not experienced sufficient spring green-up.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
