DENVER (AP) -- National Weather Service forecasters say high temperatures could intensify the fire danger along the Front Range and Colorado plains this week.

Warm winds and highs in the 70s are expected to further dry out brush and other potential fire fuel in the area, and residents are being discouraged from lighting campfires or burning trash.

The dry spell is expected to last through Saturday, despite light showers predicted in high mountain areas Monday evening.
