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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A stronger and colder weather system remains on track to move across the
Rockies through tonight, bringing beneficial rain, and higher elevation
snow, to much of south central and southeast Colorado. Snowfall of
8 to 16 inches is possible across the Rampart Range, as well as across
the Wet and Sangre de Cristo mountains, with the greatest amounts
expected across east facing slopes. Snowfall of 5 to 10 inches remains
possible across the higher terrain of Fremont county and the eastern
slopes of the Central mountains, with 3 to 7 inches possible across
the Wet Mountain Valley. A few inches, mainly on grassy areas, will
be possible across the middle and upper Arkansas River Valley, portions
of the southern I-25 corridor and over northern and western El Paso
county. There will likely be tight gradients in snowfall and accumulations
across the higher terrain.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Precipitation winds down from northeast to southwest through the day
on Friday, as drier air works into the region. This will also bring
the chance for frost across the eastern plains Friday night into
early Saturday morning, with temperatures cooling to around freezing.

A warming and drying trend remains in the offing into the weekend,
though there may be enough lingering moisture to support afternoon
showers across the higher terrain. Another weather system will bring
chances of precipitation as it moves across the region through the
middle of next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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