Denver weather: ‘Broken record forecast’ as another day of high fire danger expected Friday

Another day of critical fire weather is expected Friday in the Denver area, something the National Weather Service in Boulder called a “broken record forecast.”

“At least it’s not as windy as yesterday,” the weather service said in a tweet early Friday, “but still very dry and quite breezy late this morning through early evening.”

The area is under a red flag warning from 11-8 p.m.

Friday’s forecast in Denver calls for sunny skies with a high near 77 degrees and wind gusts up to 24 mph. Warmer weather is expected Saturday, with temps in the 80s.

Here’s the forecast from the National Weather Service.

Friday: Sunny, with a high near 77. Breezy, with a south wind 6-15 mph becoming west northwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph.
