Dry conditions, warm temperatures and breezy winds have triggered another warning over wildfire risk in Denver on Friday.

The National Weather Service in Boulder has issued a Red Flag Warning on Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for Denver, the Interstate 25 urban corridor and most of Colorado’s northeast plains.

“The mild, dry and windy conditions could result in rapid fire spread if a fire were to form,” the weather service said.

Forecasters urged residents to follow burn ban restrictions, avoid creating sparks, avoid driving on dry grass and to properly discard of cigarettes on Friday.

Meteorologists said the temperature was expected to hit 66 degrees in Denver on Friday. That’s about 17 degrees warmer than the average high for Feb. 27 in Denver, according to weather service archive data. It is still about 7 degrees shy of the record of 73 degrees, last set in 2006.

Winds in Denver were expected to be 9 to 16 mph on Friday with gusts up to 26 mph. Some areas within the Red Flag Warning area could see gusts up to 40 mph, the weather service said.

Tonight, expect the winds to calm slightly with the temperature dropping to 36 degrees in Denver.

Clouds were expected to increase over the weekend, but temperatures were still expected to be warmer than usual, in the mid to upper 60s, forecasters said.
