This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight Warm and dry weather is expected this afternoon with critical fire weather conditions in Park County where a Red Flag Warning is in effect from noon to 8 PM MDT. Elevated fire weather conditions are expected over the plains and foothills this afternoon and early evening. Temperatures will be well above seasonal normals over the plains and foothills today. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Extreme fire weather conditions are expected on Friday, with the most dangerous conditions existing from the foothills of Jefferson, Park, and Douglas counties east and northeast across the plains. Very warm, dry, and windy weather would create dangerous conditions, making any new wildfire difficult if not impossible to control. If you live in a vulnerable area, it would be prudent to have a go bag ready with important documents, medications, and valuables in the event of an evacuation. The strong winds on Friday will also create blowing dust and hazardous travel conditions. I-70 and I-76 east and northeast of Denver, as well as many other highways across eastern Colorado, could have severely impacted travel and possible road closures due to poor visibility. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms east of Sterling and Akron Friday evening. If there are storms, a severe storm with damaging winds and large hail would be possible. There is a slight chance of light showers across the rest of the plains. Mountain areas will see rain and snow showers develop late Friday afternoon, continuing through Saturday. A few inches of snow can be expected, with slick travel conditions possible over some of the mountain passes. Dry and warmer weather is expected to redevelop for much of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight. Hiris/Gimmestad
