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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity is expected today, with
most of the activity occurring over the greater Pikes Peak region
and the greater Raton Mesa region. As the storms move east this
evening, they will struggle due to the decreasing instability over
the eastern plains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

For Saturday, there will be less showers and thunderstorms, with
most of the activity remains over the southern mountains and
adjacent I-25 corridor region. One or two strong storms will be
possible along the Colorado and New Mexico border.

Sunday will see only isolated showers and thunderstorm activity
during the afternoon and early evening.

On Monday, thunderstorm activity will begin to increase over the
interior mountains while it will remain isolated over the plains.

On Tuesday, a slug of moisture is forecast to push across the state
from the southwest. This will likely bring numerous showers and
storms to the region, especially to the interior mountains. However.
it has been very dry over the interior high terrain, and with the
potential for quite a bit of lightning activity, there will be the
potential for lightning started fires.

Scattered showers and storms will be possible Wednesday, with
decreasing activity through the end of the week.

Wednesday into late week, temps will gradually increase and there
will be decreasing thunderstorm activity.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
