...Critical Fire Weather Conditions Expected Friday Afternoon...

.Strong northwest winds are forecast to develop Friday and spread
across the urban corridor and plains, with dry conditions during
the afternoon leading to critical fire weather conditions. The
highest danger will be over the southern plains where humidity
will be particularly low, but given the forecast wind speeds, fire
danger concerns still exist for areas north including the Denver
metro and portions of the plains to the north and east despite
more marginal humidity.
