More wind and heat could hamper Colorado wildfire fight

The Editor's note Have you been affected by the wildfires? Share your photos, video with CNN i Report.
CNN Forecasters are expecting warmer than normal temperatures and gusty winds Tuesday in a northern Colorado area already ravaged by a wildfire, not a good combination for the legion of firefighters trying to extinguish the blaze.
The High Park Fire had consumed 59,500 acres of woodland by Tuesday, but it was about 50% contained, authorities reported.
Tuesday's forecast by the National Weather Service is similar to Monday's blazing heat and winds that whipped up the blaze.
