...RED FLAG WARNING IS CANCELLED FOR GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE

HUMIDITY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 230, 233, AND 237...



The National Weather Service in Pueblo has cancelled the Red Flag

Warning.



Across the far southern plains, the cold front that has been in

place just south of Highway 50 through the day has finally 

surged southward and pushed into New Mexico and the Oklahoma 

Panhandle. While gusty northerly winds are expected for another

few hours, humidity values have greatly increased, with 

observations reading 45-55% humidity across the region. Given 

this, the Red Flag Warnings in place across Las Animas and Baca 

Counties have been cancelled early.
