Gusting winds driving the flames of a largely uncontrolled wildfire are expected to keep fanning the blaze through an 11th day on Monday on the bone-dry hills of southwest Colorado, where more than 2,000 homes have already been evacuated.
Bob Oravec, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland said: “This is not good news for them. There’s no rain in sight and the winds are going to be 15 mph with higher gusts all day.
