central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible region-wide this
afternoon and early evening. A few of these storms may be strong
to severe, producing winds gusts to 60 mph, frequent cloud to
ground lightning and small hail. Additionally, with drought
conditions over the region, any cloud to ground lightning will
have the potential to start fires.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Thursday

Critical fire weather conditions are expected Sunday and Monday,
with strong southwest winds gusting to 45 to 55 mph and relative
humidity values below 10 percent both days.

On Tuesday, a strong pacific weather system will move across
Colorado, bringing windy and cooler weather to the area. Critical
fire weather conditions will be possible across the southeast
plains during the late morning and early afternoon, before a cold
front brings cooler and more moist air into the region by late in
the day. Over the mountains, mainly along the Continental Divide,
snow will be possible, with some moderate accumulations expected,
especially over the eastern San Juans.

Drier weather will return late Wednesday through Friday, and critical
fire weather conditions will be possible across the region,
especially on Thursday and Friday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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