It's a calm and beautiful start to the day, but that will change this afternoon! Gusty winds, low humidity and hot temps will elevate fire danger across a good portion of the state once again today. A red flag warning is in effect Wednesday from noon until 8 p.m. for much of the Front Range, Denver metro and Eastern Plains. It's also in effect for much of the Western Slope. Wind gusts will be near 50 mph, so if anything sparks, it could spread a fire very fast.
