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 spread across the southern I-
25 corridor of eastern Huerfano and Las Animas counties. Gusty winds
and low humidity will result in conditions favorable for rapid fire
spread.

Snow showers will continue across the central mountains this
morning, with rain and snow showers spreading into the southeast
mountains and portions of the adjacent plains this afternoon and
evening. Localized accumulations of 1 to 4 inches of snow will be
above 7500 across portions of the central and southeast mountains,
with light rainfall amounts possible across the lower elevations
before showers diminish overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Critical fire weather conditions will ramp up again across the lower
elevations of southern Colorado on Thursday as winds pick up ahead
of the next system.  This system will spread showers into the
mountains Thursday night, then across portions of the southeast
plains on Friday.  Light mountain snows and lower elevation rain
will be possible with this system.

Another round of critical fire weather will be possible for Sunday
and Monday across the lower elevations as temperatures rebound and
winds become gusty ahead of another mid week storm system.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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