The combination of the intense heat, very low relative humidity, and wind gusts up to 40 mph on Tuesday is keeping the fire danger high statewide. A Red Flag Warning is effect from noon until 8 p.m. for about 75% of Colorado including the higher terrain of Jefferson County and communities such as Conifer, Evergreen, and Genesee.
