Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: CO-EP-371
Station Name: Peyton 8.5 WSW
Report Date: 12/22/2025
Submitted: 12/21/2025 5:57 PM
Scale Bar: Near Normal
Description:
Since last reported on 12/14/2025, received a trace of precipitation recorded on 12/18/2025. A very windy week with fuels on the ground drying significantly. Consequently, the NWS issued Red Flag Warnings several days with winds exceeding 50-60 mph. A wildfire broke out on Ft. Carson with 1600 acres burned from what I last heard. Soil sample taken this evening still shows adequately moist soil below the surface. However, the soil has dried since previous report. Observed three adult Cottontails grazing yesterday and a Raven flying overhead. Pigeons were also seen in our water feature flower beds. Lots of mountain wave clouds just about every day. With sustained soil moisture continuing, I will maintain a Near Normal Condition Scale.
