DENVER — A mixed bag of weather is in store for Colorado on Monday, as both fire weather and winter weather advisories are in place for parts of the state.
The National Weather Service in Boulder says “critical” fire conditions continue Monday for the Denver metro area, southern foothills, part of Park County, the Palmer Divide and parts of the eastern plains. That advisory will be upgraded to a red flag warning Monday at noon, according to the NWS.
Wind gusts could reach 55 mph with 10-15% humidity, according to the NWS.
Areas to the south, including Colorado Springs, Teller and Fremont Counties, the southeastern plains and the San Luis Valley were already under a red flag warning as of Sunday night.
Several fires have broken out across the state since Friday due to high winds and low humidity.

Meanwhile, parts of the high country will be under a winter storm warning or winter weather advisory starting at noon Monday, with as much as 1-2 feet of snow possible through Tuesday evening.
The cold air mass will make its way into Denver late Monday night into Tuesday, but will likely bring little accumulation. Drivers can expect a wet commute Tuesday morning.
