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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected this
afternoon into this evening. Storms will move off of the Palmer and
surrounding areas, moving southeast and intensifying over time. Some
strong to severe storms are expected. Given the supportive
environment, hail up to the size of ping pong balls and winds to 65
mph will be the main threats, though a tornado or two can`t be ruled
out.

Meanwhile, critical fire weather conditions are expected throughout
the afternoon over the interior mountains and the San Luis Valley,
with dry surface conditions and breezy west winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Saturday

More strong to severe storms are expected to return each afternoon
over the eastern plains through Thursday. The area will continue
seeing plenty of low-level moisture, wind shear, and supportive lift
from some passing disturbances aloft. Main impacts will be large
hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes.

Meanwhile, critical fire weather conditions will return to the
interior mountains and San Luis Valley each afternoon, with low RH
and breezy west winds coupled with warm temperatures. This will
continue each day through Wednesday.

Thursday into Friday, we get a better chance at more widespread
precipitation, though the area appears to dry out again later this
weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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