torrential rainfall, damaging winds and tornadoes, perhaps
significant, would all be possible.
Low relative humidity and wind gusts near 40 MPH will promote very
high to locally extreme grassland fire spread potential for
locations along and south of Interstate 70.

south of the Interstate 70 corridor.
