BE SMART FOLKS - it’s very dry and windy right now! 🙏🏽
The storm system passing to our north on Saturday will do a few things. It will drag a cold front across the region, help trigger severe thunderstorms across the Eastern Plains, and crank up the winds in the mountains, across the Western Slope, and into portions of Wyoming.
That combination of gusty winds, low humidity, and dry fuels will create critical fire weather conditions along and west of the Continental Divide.
I know I sound like a broken record, precious little chicken nuggets, but under absolutely no circumstances should you be dragging chains, lighting fireworks, tossing cigarette butts out the window, starting campfires, abandoning campfires, parking hot vehicles in tall grass, or doing anything else that could remotely create a spark.
It only takes one mistake. One spark in the wrong place at the wrong time can turn into a wildfire that impacts entire communities, destroys homes, closes highways, and puts firefighters in harm’s way.
Saturday is one of those days where we all need to use a little extra common sense. Don’t be a dumb dumb. Help us keep the landscape from going kablamo. 🔥💨
