This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Another day of elevated to critical fire weather conditions can be
expected today due to warm, dry, and breezy weather. The most
critical conditions will occur from Park County and Southern
Jefferson County eastward across the Palmer Divide and into east
central Colorado. That`s where wind gusts this afternoon will be
near 30 mph. Similar conditions can also be expected from Fort
Collins to the Wyoming border area. In between, including much of
the Denver and Boulder metro area, winds will be mostly lighter
but it will be just as warm and dry.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Cooler weather and showers are still in the forecast by Tuesday.
A few inches of snow can be expected from late tonight through
Tuesday night in the mountains, with some travel impacts mainly
over the higher passes at night. Scattered rain showers and
isolated thunderstorms can be expected on the plains.

Warmer and drier weather will redevelop for Wednesday into
Thursday, with potential for more critical fire weather
conditions.

A colder storm system will then have an opportunity to bring snow
to the mountains and plains by Friday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
