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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

High fire danger continues to be a threat for portions of the area
today, with very dry conditions and receptive fuels remaining in
place. Gusty southwest winds are forecast across the San Luis
Valley, Lake and Chaffee counties, and wind-prone gap flow areas in
the vicinity of Walsenburg and Trinidad. A Red Flag Warning remains
in effect for Fire Zones 220, 224, 229 and 230 today from Noon until
8 PM.

Accumulating snow returns to the higher terrain Saturday night, with
new snow amounts by Sunday morning ranging from 3 to 5 inches for
the peaks of the southwest mountains, 2 to 4 inches for the central
mountains, and 1 to 3 inches for the peaks of the eastern
mountains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Shower chances increase area-wide Sunday and Monday as a weather
system moves across the region, with the greatest chance for
accumulating snow along the Continental Divide through Monday. The
Pikes Peak region may see some snow on Monday as well, though
melting will likely occur over Monument Hill. Snow accumulation is
likely over all of the higher terrain, while across the eastern
plains there is a growing potential for thunderstorm activity
Sunday afternoon. A few of the storms may become strong to
possibly severe. The main threat at this time with any storms
that do develop will be wind gusts to 50 mph, and cloud to ground
lightning.

Another system is forecast to track across the Four Corners region
Thursday and Friday, bringing a shot of mountain snow, and
increased storm chances to the eastern plains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
