The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning today for Gilpin County due to critical and dangerous fire weather conditions.
This week’s weather will continue to increase fire risk, with warm temperatures (potentially near or breaking records) and very dry conditions. We will continue to monitor conditions daily and will communicate as needed.
Looking Ahead (Monday–Saturday):
- A warm and dry pattern is expected to persist through the week.
- For the mountains, the chance for snow returns Christmas Day and possibly lingers into Friday and Saturday. Heavier snow is expected over the mountains of western Colorado, with lighter amounts for the central mountains.
🚫 Please avoid all activities that could spark a fire, including open burning. Remain vigilant as fire conditions can change rapidly.
