CSU’s Christman Field gusted to 90 mph just after noon #cowx
Evacs just ordered for that area including the hospital, per radio traffic
First "extreme" fire weather risk anywhere in Boulder County in over 3 years (4/22/2022).
First extreme fire weather outlook anywhere in Colorado in over 20 months (4/6/2024).

Particularly Dangerous Situation! ● Foothills & along CO Highway 93 westward! ● Gusts of 85-100 mph possible from Hwy 93 corridor westward ● Sustained winds, in the same corridor, of 45-55 MPH. ● Relative humidity: 8 to 20 percent ● Uncertainty: If the strongest winds make it past Hwy 93/US 36
Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning for the Boulder and Jeffco foothills tomorrow, via NWS Boulder. Warning text at mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.ph... #cowx
Has there ever been a PDS RFW in Colorado before? Know they’ve been used in southern CA, but can’t recall one here in recent years at least.
Good work by our senators!
President Trump is delivering on his promise of retribution against Colorado for the state's mail-in ballots and refusal to release his ally Tina Peters from prison.
The Trump team says it plans to close America's foremost weather lab: NCAR. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports.
Reposting this great article ahead of a likely PSPS event here in Colorado on Wednesday. Let’s see if Xcel actually made the improvements it said it did. Coloradans are going to have to get used to this. #psps #cowx #wildfire
Wildfires are getting more destructive in the US, especially in conifer forests of the Northwest...10% of exposed buildings were destroyed in 2002–2012, but this percentage more than tripled, to 32% in 2013–2022. Nice work @amandacarlson.bsky.social and co-authors! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Very true. Affects anywhere they would get called out to during the US off-season
This action also grounds the Very Large Air Tankers (VLATs) in the US. While this is the quiet part of the wildfire season, any long duration of this AD will cause issues for wildland firefighting
Aurora has gotten even better here in Fort Collins #cowx
Aurora borealis from Fort Collins, CO
Aurora from Fort Collins tonight @bianchiweather.bsky.social
A sold-out Wrigley singing “Go Cubs Go” is a glorious thing.
Impressive pyrocu on the #LeeFire from the Harvey Gap camera. All of Meeker now on Ready status
Evolving situation on the #LeeFire as it continues to push east. Evacuations expanded eastward to the south side of Meeker and heat signatures picking up in that same area
Thanks! Figured someone like you had the intel on this
So we going to go back to PL4 anytime soon? Seems like things have blown up quick again in CA/CO, with many moderate-sized fires popping up in the PNW. Could really use the MAFFS again + all of the contract resources. New CA start (Rosa Fire) unable to get helos as none available in the state
Red sky at night
Wildfires alight

Air quality warning
They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.
More than 14 million acres of public lands in Colorado, including popular mountain biking and hiking areas, could be eligible for sale under Republican budget bill.
Has Lutnick actually visited a WFO? What does he think actually goes on at these (very important) offices?
Love a good DEN thunderstorm, particularly if you get out just before it #cowx
OMG PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG COMEBACK GRAND SLAM

The loss of 5 CIMTs will be felt massively if we reach PL4/5 this year. The risk to our communities, forests, public lands, and economy, cannot be understated.
Greensburg 2007 are some of the first EF5 tornado damage photos I remember seeing as a kid. Can only hope they make it through this one ok
Just gonna assume today was a billion dollar weather day.

New wildfire start near Berthoud, CO showing up on radar #cowx
