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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop across
the mountains around noon, and drift southwestward across the
adjacent valleys through the afternoon and evening.  An isolated
storm or two will be possible along the northern slopes of the Raton
Mesa and southern border counties.  Locally heavy rainfall,
lightning, and gusty outflow winds up to 45 mph will be the primary
risks.  Flash flooding of burn scars and areas with susceptible
soils will be possible across the mountains with the greatest risk
along the Continental Divide this afternoon through early evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Thunderstorms will become more isolated across the mountains over
the weekend as the monsoon plume shifts westward.  Gusty outflow
winds up to 50 mph, lightning, and brief moderate to heavy rainfall
will be possible with storms along the Continental Divide.
Otherwise, it will be hot and dry across the plains, with
temperatures topping 100 across the eastern plains by Sunday.

Thunderstorm chances increase across the Continental Divide on
Monday, and for most of southern Colorado through the mid to latter
part of next week, as the monsoon plume shifts eastward, and weak
cold fronts push into the southeast plains. The main risks with
thunderstorms will be heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty outflow
winds up to 50 mph. Flash flood risks may increase for all burn
scars Tuesday through Thursday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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