This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across the Palmer
Divide and Lincoln County today. This is due to mild temperatures
in the upper 60s, relative humidity around 10 percent, and wind
gusts up to 30 mph.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

A strong low pressure system will produce moderate to heavy snow
to the mountains tonight and Friday. Light snow will fall across
lower elevations on Friday which could impact the Friday morning
commute in the Denver metro as well as make for poor travel
conditions on I-25 over the Palmer Divide. Hazardous travel
conditions are expected in the mountains due to the heavy, wet
snow.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed, but reports of snow and
wind gusts will be appreciated.
