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

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will be possible across the
mountains and interior valleys this afternoon and evening. Locally
heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph will
be the primary storm risks. Burn scar flash flooding will be
possible, particularly for the Willow burn scar along the
Continental Divide, if it becomes directly impacted by a stronger
storm. Thunderstorms will diminish around midnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Scattered to numerous afternoon and evening thunderstorms will be
possible each day through Friday across the mountains and valleys.
Locally heavy rainfall capable of producing flash flooding for area
burn scars, lightning, and gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph will be
the primary storm risks, especially for the Willow burn scar.

While daily afternoon and evening thunderstorms return along the
Continental Divide through the weekend, warmer and drier air will
spread into the southeast mountains plains. Temperatures will
approach or exceed the century mark for portions of the plains both
days.

A pattern change will bring a potential uptick in showers and
thunderstorms again to all of southern Colorado early next week, as
monsoon moisture increases out west, and a cool front brings
increasing low level moisture in easterly upslope flow to the
southeast mountains and plains. This will increase the potential for
flash flooding on all area burn scars Monday and Tuesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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