DENVER(CBS)- After cold Thursday morning it looks like the fire danger threat will be ramping up again for parts of the Front Range. On the weather map have a high pressure ridge sliding in over the southern Rockies. At the same time, there is another storm system pushing into the west coast. The westerly flow on top of the high pressure along with a strong pressure gradient between the two will create windy conditions for two days over the mountains and front range.
