Dry, windy weather is expected to elevate fire risk on Wednesday, just as firefighters achieve 40% containment on the Sunshine Wildland Fire in the Boulder foothills. But cold weather and snow is expected on Thursday.
Evacuation orders remain in place for hundreds of Boulder County residents as a wildfire continues to burn in the Sunshine Canyon Drive area early Tuesday morning.
