This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Colorado, southwest
Colorado, west central Colorado, east central Utah, northeast Utah
and southeast Utah.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Freeze warnings remain in place this morning through 1000 MDT for
most of the low valleys. No additional hazardous weather is expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Freeze watches are in place for the Uinta Basin and much of western
Colorado Sunday morning, due to anomalously low spring temperatures.
High pressure will remain in place early this week, with non zero
chances for some showers on the San Juans and up the Divide Monday
and Tuesday afternoon. More widespread precipitation is possible mid-
week and beyond as models grapple with another storm crossing the
Great Basin.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
