From 10 am to 8 pm MST (11 am to 9 pm CST). Westerly winds of 30 to 45 mph with gusts up to 65 mph. Relative humidity as low as 9%. Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread. Avoid outdoor burning and any activity that may produce a spark and start a wildfire.

This is Tuesday's (Feb 17th) Fire Weather Outlook from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center.
For northeastern Colorado, part of western/central Nebraska, and far northwestern Kansas will have an extreme risk for fire weather on Tuesday with other parts of eastern Colorado, Nebraska Panhandle, western/central Nebraska, western Kansas, & eastern Wyoming having a critical & elevated risk. This means do NOT do any outdoor burning or any activity that may produce a spark & start a wildfire. This winter has been extremely dry & unfortunately this will likely be a common thing for us here on the high plains this year. I'll post the hazards map here in a bit.
