Special to the Daily
The National Weather Service in Grand Junction on Thursday issued a red flag warning for Friday between noon and 9 p.m. The warning covers areas below 8,500 feet elevation due to forecasted gusty winds, low relative humidity and dry fuels.
The forecast for the Colorado River headwaters area calls for winds between 15 and 25 mph, with gusts of 25 to 35 mph. Relative humidity is forecast to drop to 10% to 15%.
That combination means conditions can become favorable for easy ignition and the rapid spread of fires.
Eagle County bumps up fire restrictions one level whenever a red flag warning is issued. In this case, the entire county will go to stage 1 restrictions.
