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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Severe thunderstorms are expected later this afternoon into the
evening hours over the far eastern plains of Colorado. The best
chance for severe storms will be over Kiowa, Bent, Prowers and
eastern Baca counties. The primary threat will be wind gusts to 70
mph and hail up to 2 inches in diameter.

Later tonight, a thunderstorms complex is forecast to develop over
the southeast plains of Colorado, and this will bring late night
thunderstorms to quite a few areas of the southeast plains into
the early morning hours. The primary concern will be periods of
heavy rain and small hail.

Red flag conditions will occur today over the interior mountains,
the San Luis Valley and Fremont county. Please do not do anything
which could cause a spark and start a wildfire.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Severe thunderstorms will likely occur every day from Monday
through Thursday across the eastern plains of Colorado. The
combination of northwesterly mid level flow, sufficient
instability, and several disturbances in the flow aloft will allow
for scattered thunderstorm to develop each day. With sufficient
shear over the region. the storms will have to propensity to
become severe, producing large hail. damaging winds and a tornado
or two. Given that the flow aloft is northwest may allow for
severe thunderstorm activity to affect the larger population
centers along the I-25 corridor during this period.

Over the interior mountains, it will be hot and dry and breezy at
times, and critical fire weather conditions will be likely
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday over the interior mountains and
valleys. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to return to the
mountains Thursday into the weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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