🔥HIGH FIRE DANGER Monday! Southwest winds gusting up to 50 mph, and critically low relative humidity below 15% will lead to conditions favorable for extreme fire behavior on Monday. Please AVOID activities which could start a wildfire. #cowx

Upper level system responsible for the heavy snow can be seen pivoting across the region with moisture streaming into S. CO. Moderate to heavy snow will continue into this evening with impacts likely increasing during that time, especially as northerly winds/gusts increase. #cowx
