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 will develop
over the higher terrain late this morning and continue through
the evening, with a few strong to severe storms developing as
they move into a more unstable atmosphere across the I-25 Corridor
and southeast plains this afternoon and evening. The best chances
of severe storms, producing strong wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph,
and large hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter, look to be across
the Palmer Divide into the I-25 Corridor, and across the Raton
Mesa into the southern tier of eastern Las Animas and Baca
counties. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible with the
strongest storms, leading to the potential for flash flooding,
especially across areas which have received abundant precipitation
over the past few days.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Another round of strong to severe storms is expected Friday across
the eastern plains, with with large hail and strong winds again the
primary hazards. Widespread, and potentially substantial, critical
fire weather conditions are expected to return this weekend and into
early next as dry and windy conditions return.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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