Red Flag Warning for Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park posted this warning on their social media this morning:
Today there are widespread critical fire weather conditions, including across all areas of RMNP, due to strong winds, low humidity, and warm temperatures. Don't park on vegetation.

Rocky Mountain National Park always has Stage 1 fire restrictions in place where campfires are prohibited throughout the park, except within designated campfire rings in picnic areas and frontcountry campgrounds.
From the National Weather Service:
Widespread critical fire weather conditions will occur today due to gusty winds, low humidity and record/near record temperatures.
