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

.DAY ONE...Tonight and Tonight

A Pacific weather system will move across Colorado today,
bringing showers and cooler weather to the mountains, while windy
and dry conditions persist on the plains. Critical fire weather
conditions are likely across the southeast plains from late
morning until early evening, before a cold front brings cooler
and more moist air into the region by late in the day. Over the
mountains and valleys, rain and snow showers will continue today
and this evening, with an isolated thunderstorm producing
occasional lightning and gusty winds possible as well. Storm total
accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are possible by this evening along
the Continental Divide, mainly over the eastern San Juans, with
lighter amounts over the higher peaks away from the Divide. A few
showers are possible this evening over the Pikes Peak region, with
snow levels falling enough to bring a brief rain-snow mix to the
the Palmer Divide before precipitation ends after midnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Sunday

Fire danger increases again on Thursday and Friday across much of
the region, before another fast-moving weather system brings a
chance for rain and snow showers to mainly the mountains from
Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. As this system exits the
are on Saturday, colder air will spill south over Colorado, with
morning low temperatures well below freezing possible over much of
southern Colorado both Saturday and Sunday mornings.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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