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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

A wintry mix of weather will spread across our area through
Wednesday evening. The peaks of the mountains will get accumulating
snow throughout, while the lower elevations start as rain and switch
to snow when temperatures drop. Expect a heavy, wet snow, with
highest amounts over the peaks of the southeast mountains, as well
as Teller and northern El Paso Counties. Some of these areas may
receive 8 to 12 inches or more of total accumulation. However, much
of the initial snowfall will melt, so actual measurements will
likely not reflect this.

For impacts, roads could turn slushy and slick very quickly, leading
to hazardous travel conditions. This will be most prevalent from
late Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon. Additionally,
accumulating snow may cause damage to tree branches and power lines.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Precipitation will move out of our area late Wednesday Night into
Thursday. Cold air will remain in place with sub-freezing
temperatures expected across the area.  Precautions should be taken
to protect sensitive vegetation and exposed plumbing.

A few light snow showers will be possible over the Central Mountains
Thursday through Sunday. A few thunderstorms may be possible on
Saturday afternoon and evening on the Plains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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