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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this
afternoon and early evening across the higher terrain and into the
southeast plains. One or two stronger storms will be possible across
the plains, especially across the Pikes Peak region, where hail up
to the size of pennies and gusty outflow winds to near 60 mph may
be possible. Otherwise, the main storm threats will be cloud to
ground lightning and gusty winds up to 40 mph. Showers across the
higher terrain could produce light snow accumulations of an inch
or two, mainly across the highest peaks.

Spotty critical fire weather conditions will be possible across
portions of Huerfano county, later this afternoon. As always,
please be vigilant to avoid activities which could spark a fire.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Isolated to scattered and thunderstorms will remain possible across
the area Tuesday and Wednesday, with best coverage expected north of
the Highway 50 Corridor. Light snow accumulations will again be
possible across the higher terrain.

More widespread, but more marginal, critical fire weather conditions
will be possible Tuesday and Wednesday, especially across the interior
valleys and gap prone areas of the I-25 Corridor. This is ahead of
a stronger weather system tracking across the Rockies Thursday and Friday.
This system looks to bring much needed precipitation to the region in the
form of rain and higher elevation snow, along with well below seasonal
temperatures. A warming and drying trend is then in the offing for next
weekend, as upper level ridging builds back across the Rockies.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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