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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to numerous afternoon thunderstorms will develop over the
mountains around noon, and spread into the adjacent valleys through
the afternoon and evening.  The main risk with thunderstorm will be
locally heavy rainfall, gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph, and
lightning.  Flash flooding could occur on area burn scars,
especially those along the Continental Divide such as Willow if
they are directly impacted.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Another round of scattered to numerous thunderstorms will be
possible on Friday across the mountains, with locally heavy
rainfall, gusty outflow winds and lightning the primary risks.  Burn
scars along the Continental Divide will be vulnerable to flash
flooding once again should they be directly impacted by a storm.
Thunderstorm chances decrease for Saturday and Sunday across the
mountains with afternoon thunderstorms becoming more isolated in
coverage. Another uptick in thunderstorms will return for Monday
across the mountains, and Tuesday and Wednesday across the
mountains and southeast plains behind a cool front. This may
increase the potential for flash flooding on the southeast
mountain burn scars such as Aspen Acres and 24 by mid week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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