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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected over
portions of the area this afternoon and evening. Storms will
initially fire over the mountains, pushing east-southeast through
the remainder of the afternoon and into the evening.

Initial impacts will be over the higher terrain, where flash
flooding will be possible over any burn scar areas due to brief
moderate to heavy rainfall. As storms move east, outflow winds to 50
mph will also be a concern for any ongoing wildfires. Over the
eastern plains, main impacts will be similar outflow winds, along
with small hail and spotty moderate to heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Monday

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected Thursday and Friday
afternoons, first over the eastern mountains and then over the
plains later in the day. Some strong to severe storms will be
possible over the plains, especially on Thursday, with winds to
around 60 mph, hail between 1-2 inches, and locally heavy rainfall
all possible. If a stronger storm passes over a burn scar area,
localized flash flooding and ash flows will be possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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