This threat will end by mid-morning as temperatures rise above freezing. Otherwise, critical fire weather will be the primary impact today across east-central Utah, southeast Utah and portions of southwest Colorado. A Red Flag Warning is in effect. Isolated to scattered rain/snow showers will linger off an on across the higher terrain of northeast Utah and the Continental Divide through the day and night. Any additional snow accumulations will be light with limited impacts to travel. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Risks for gusty afternoon winds and localized critical fire weather will remain through mid-week as multiple disturbances pass through eastern Utah and western Colorado. Off and on showers will persist across the high terrain, favoring the Continental Divide, through Tuesday. A warming trend then begins for Wednesday and beyond with temperatures climbing back to well above seasonal norms. A strong Pacific storm is then likely to crash into the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies Friday into Saturday. This will result in a tightening pressure gradient across the Four Corners and a heightened potential for more widespread strong winds and critical fire weather. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
