Dangerous fire weather conditions were underway in Colorado and Wyoming’s foothills that had forecasters using the most dire language possible to characterize Friday’s fire threat.
“This is a Particularly Dangerous Situation that poses a significant threat to life and property in the event of a wildfire start,” the so-called PDS red flag warnings issued by the National Weather Service offices in Boulder, Colorado, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, said.
It’s the first-ever PDS red flag warning issued in Colorado. The rare warnings are in effect for parts of the state’s foothills, including parts of Boulder and Jefferson counties, and Wyoming’s Laramie County, until Friday night.
