central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Isolated to scattered showers will be possible over and near the
mountains today.  Some very light showers with a dusting of snow
will be possible across the southeast mountains this morning.
Showers this afternoon will be high based and capable of
producing isolated gusty outflow winds up to 40 mph over the
mountains but only light rainfall amounts.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Critical fire weather conditions will be possible Saturday across
the mountains, valleys and the southern and far eastern portions of
the southeast plains.  Gusty winds and low humidity will lead to
conditions favorable for rapid fire spread.

Winds weaken slightly for Sunday, though elevated fire weather
conditions will be possible across the valleys. Critical fire
weather conditions at times will return into early next week with
the next system bringing better chances for rain and higher
elevation snows to the mountains Tuesday night and Wednesday. A
few inches of snow will be possible across the higher mountains
above 10000 feet along the Continental Divide.  Isolated showers
will be possible for the plains on Wednesday though any
precipitation will be light. An active weather pattern will
continue through late week, with more chances for showers across
the mountains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
