''The next few days will certainly bring about a bit of a heatwave in more ways than one. For your Tuesday, area Red Flag Warnings for portions of Colorado and Nebraska are in effect today from noon to 8 PM MDT with strong wind gusts into the 40 mph range and low relative humidity to promote strong fire growth should any start.
