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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon into
this evening. Chances for storms will be highest over the far
eastern plains, with odds decreasing further to the west. Storms
that form are expected to intensify, becoming strong to severe. Main
impact concerns will be damaging winds 70 to 80 mph, hail of 2 to 2
and a half inches in diameter, and a few isolated tornadoes.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Thursday

On Sunday, isolated to scattered storms will be possible mainly
north of highway 50. Some may become strong to severe, producing
outflow winds to 70 mph and small hail.

From Monday through late week, showers and thunderstorms will be
possible over the plains each day. A persistent upslope pattern
combined with several weak disturbances in the northwesterly flow
aloft will allow for these storms to become strong to severe. Large
hail, damaging winds and a tornado or two will be possible through
this period.

Over the mountains, it will remain quite warm and very dry, and fire
weather concerns will be high through this period over the higher
terrain.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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