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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

High Fire Danger continues today with critical fire weather
conditions expected across the mountains, valleys and adjacent
southeast plains, as gusty southwest winds and low humidity
spreads across the region. Fire behavior could become very erratic
with rapid rates of spread possible through the evening. Please
heed all evacuation notices and avoid activities which could start
a wildfire.

One or two strong to severe thunderstorms will also be possible
during the afternoon and early evening across Baca, Bent, Prowers
and Kiowa counties. Hail around 1 inch and wind gusts up to 70 mph
will be the primary storm risks.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

High Fire Danger will return for Thursday and possibly again on
Friday for the mountains, valleys and for portions of adjacent I-25
corridor. Gusty winds and low humidity will persist until midnight
Thursday night along the eastern slopes of the southeast mountains,
resulting in the potential for erratic fire behavior to continue
well into the overnight hours Thursday night. Friday`s critical
fire weather conditions will pull back to the mountains and
valleys, with a lower risk on the plains where winds will be
lighter, in spite of temperatures cresting over 100 across much of
the southeast plains.

Winds will weaken for Saturday in spite of the continued hot
conditions. This should keep critical fire weather conditions more
limited in coverage and duration. Moisture increases for Sunday
through Tuesday bringing the potential for wetting rains from
thunderstorms to much of southern Colorado.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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