DENVER — Anyone taking in Colorado’s outdoors on Saturday is urged to use caution and avoid burning anything as a red flag warning goes into effect.

"We are looking at a High Fire Danger for most areas along the Front Range and Eastern Plains, as the winds will start to pick up throughout the afternoon," said Denver7 meteorologist Steve Roldan."Temperatures will climb into the mid 60's. Warm temperatures, and strong gusty winds will make for that high fire danger."

“It’s going to lose a little steam as it gets closer to the state,” added Hidalgo. “Likely looking at some of our heaviest snow right in through the northern and also down through the southwestern mountains, we’ve got a number of watches going into effect for quite a few counties.” For the Denver metro area, Saturday’s weather should remain warm with windy conditions. The high temperature in Denver on Saturday is expected to be close to 70 degrees. On Sunday, expect slight cooler temps in Denver with a high of 55 degrees and the potential for showers.
