Three fires are burning in the region this afternoon

Saturday – 5 Aug 2023 – 5:30pm

***Satellite loop this afternoon shows three fires burning in the region***

*** A RED FLAG warning has been issued valid on Sunday at noon to Sunday at 9pm. Warm temps, low humidity, dry fuels, and gusty winds will result in critical fire conditions. ***

*** A FIRE WEATHER WATCH has been issued for the same conditions to occur again Monday afternoon through Monday evening. ***

*** A FIRE WEATHER WATCH has also been issued for Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening. ***

Starting Wednesday, winds will decrease a little, but we’ll remain dry, warm, and breezy through next week. Unfortunately, fire conditions are not going to improve.

I’ve been a “weather geek” since I was young child. I joined the military out of high school and was lucky to get my dream job in weather. I have 20 years of military weather experience which includes forecasting the weather all over the world. Highlights were six years in Alaska and making life and death weather decisions during deployments. I love mountains, I love snow, and I love summertime thunderstorms. I spend a bunch of time playing outdoors and found my paradise in Pagosa Springs. I do Pagosa Weather as a community service. Hopefully you find us helpful!
