.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A few strong to severe storms may be possible on our far southeast
plains this evening, with damaging winds the primary risk, along
with small hail and frequent lightning. Isolated non-severe showers
and thunderstorms will also be possible over and near the higher
terrain this afternoon, to include the southern I-25 corridor and
the Pikes Peak region. New fire starts from dry lightning will be
possible today, along with very erratic fire behavior from gusty
outflow winds if any new starts do occur.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Wednesday

There will be a better chance for strong to severe thunderstorms
over parts of the plains Saturday and Sunday. The best chance of
strong storms Saturday will be along the Palmer Divide, while on
Sunday most of the plain may see a chance of strong to severe
storms.

Widespread high fire danger is expected for Saturday and Sunday
across the region.

Cooler weather will arrive Monday, with a chance of showers and
storm into mid week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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