SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE IN
THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS. THERE IS NO CHANCE OF RAIN OR THUNDER.

NOTE THAT PUEBLO DISPATCH WAS SO BUSY THAT THEY ASKED US...NWS...TO
PUT IN THE REQUEST. I CALLED THE FIRE "ROYAL GORGE". THIS NAME MAY
CHANGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE LAT/LONG COORDINATES ARE NOT EXACT.

A COOL FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER
WEATHER TOMORROW. WINDS WILL BE MUCH LESS TOMORROW AND WILL BE
OUT OF THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST AT 10 TO 20 MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON. RH
VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.

NOTE THAT HUMIDITY VALUES WILL NOT RECOVER SIGNIFICANTLY TONIGHT.

FEEL FREE TO CALL US FOR ANY ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
