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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated to scattered and thunderstorms will remain possible across
the area this afternoon and evening, with best coverage expected north
of the Highway 50 Corridor. The main threats from any storms will be
cloud to ground lightning and gusty outflow winds up to 45 mph. Light
snow accumulations will again be possible across the higher terrain.

Critical fire weather conditions are likely across the San Luis Valley
this afternoon, with elevated conditions poking into southern I-25
corridor. With the dry conditions, please stay vigilant to avoid
activities which could spark a fire.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

A stronger and colder weather system, tracking across the Rockies
later Wednesday night through the day Friday, looks to bring
beneficial rain and higher elevation snow across south central
and southeast Colorado. Temperatures will be well below seasonal
levels Thursday and Friday, with the potential for a widespread
freeze across the southeast plains Friday night into Saturday
morning. A warming and drying trend remains in the offing into the
weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
