Further west, winds will not be as strong, but wind gusts up to 30 mph and low humidities will keep the fire danger elevated.  After a warm, dry, and breezy day Sunday, rain is likely on the plains Sunday night, with snow in the mountains. There could be some travel impact over the passes and down into the higher foothills. Another weather system will likely bring more rain at lower elevations and snow in the mountains Wednesday into Thursday.  .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
