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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across
the mountains after noon and continue into the early evening.
Locally heavy rain, gusty winds up to 50 mph and lightning will be
the primary storm risks, especially across the eastern San Juan
and La Garita mountains and the Sawatch range, bringing a low end
risk for localized flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A drying and warming trend sets in for Sunday and Monday with
temperatures topping over 100 degrees across portions of the
southeast plains by Monday.  Heat Advisories may be necessary for
the urban I-25 corridor counties including El Paso, Pueblo and
eastern Fremont counties on Monday.

Moisture increases from west to east for the middle to latter part
of next week.  This will bring a return of more widespread afternoon
and evening showers and thunderstorms to the mountains and southeast
plains, especially for Wednesday through Friday.  The risk of flash
flooding will increase on all area burn scars during this period.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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