Fire Weather Advisory as of 5:02 PM MDT on March 20, 2017
...Red flag warning is cancelled for wind and low relative humidity for the Front Range foothills and lower elevations of Boulder and Jefferson counties...fire weather zones 215...216...and 239...
The National Weather Service in Denver has cancelled the red flag warning.
Humidities were increasing into the 18 to 25 percent range across the foothills and winds had also decreased late this afternoon. Conditions will continue to gradually improve through the course of the evening.
Cooler temperatures, somewhat higher humidities, and lighter winds can be expected on Tuesday.
