Thursday in Thornton remains warm, breezy winds will lead to elevated fire danger

A system passing to our north is going to mix things up a bit today. Most notably, we will see breezy winds and with our bone dry conditions, fire danger becomes a concern.

Sunny skies will again be above throughout the day. Highs will top out in the low 70s. Winds will be picking up by mid-morning and become quite breezy for the balance of the day.

Due to the wind, dry fuels and low humidity, a Red Flag Warning will be in effect from 7:00am to 6:00pm. Please exercise caution!

Tonight, winds will gradually ease. Skies will be mostly clear with overnight lows in the mid-30s.
