Fire Weather Warning
Statement as of 2:23 PM MDT on May 11, 2008


... Red flag warning remains in effect from 10 am to 9 PM MDT
Monday...

A red flag warning remains in effect from 10 am to 9 PM MDT
Monday.

Critical fire weather conditions will be likely Monday late
morning through the evening. Breezy to very windy conditions...
with gusts of 25 to 40 mph... very low humidity levels below 15
percent... Haines of 5 and 6... and dry fuels will lead to
dangerous fire weather conditions. Any fires that start will
become erratic and uncontrollable. A strong cold front will move
across all fire districts Monday evening... and still could create
erratic fire behavior for wildfires even though temperatures will
cool and humidity values will increase Monday evening.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will occur within the next 24 to 36
hours.
