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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Critical Fire Weather conditions will return to much of southern
Colorado on Saturday as gusty southwest to west winds increase and
relative humidity values drop below critical thresholds.  The
strongest winds will be in and near the mountains and across the far
eastern counties where a strong southerly wind will set up.

Isolated high based showers will be possible over the mountains and
Pikes Peak region in the late afternoon and early evening.  The main
risks with thunderstorms will be localized gusty winds up to 40 mph
but little if any rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Record to near record high temperatures will return for Sunday and
Monday.  Breezy afternoon winds will lead to elevated fire weather
conditions across the valleys on Sunday.  Winds will increase on
Monday with critical fire weather conditions possible across most of
southern Colorado.  Isolated high based showers will be possible in
and near the mountains Sunday and Monday.  These will be sparse in
coverage with gusty outflow winds up to 40 mph the primary risk.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be cooler with a better chance of showers
across southern Colorado. Accumulating snow will be possible
across the higher elevations of the Continental Divide.
Precipitation amounts will be lighter across the plains with a
rain/snow mix possible during the overnight and early morning
hours near the mountains.

Warmer weather returns for late week but another system may bring
another uptick in showers to southern Colorado late week into next
weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
