This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

An isolated thunderstorm may be possible today across the eastern
plains. If one develops, large hail to around 2 inches and strong
winds to around 70 mph will be the primary hazards. During the
evening and early overnight hours, a couple of intense supercells is
expected across the I-25 corridor, with very large hail of 2-3
inches likely, and possibly larger. Strong winds to around 70 mph
will be possible with these supercells as well.

Critical fire weather conditions are also expected for much of the
western areas, as gusty winds and single digit humidity values
overspread regions west of the I-25 corridor.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Strong to severe storms will again be possible Wednesday through
Friday across the eastern plains, with large hail and damaging winds
the primary hazards. Otherwise, typical Summer thunderstorms are
expected across the valleys and mountains, with small hail and gusty
outflow winds expected. Critical fire weather conditions may also
return for the valleys Wednesday. More widespread and substantial
critical fire weather conditions are expected to return this weekend
and into early next as dry and windy conditions return.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely over portions of the region.
