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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

No hazardous weather is expected for the rest of this evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Another day of critical fire weather conditions returns on
Saturday for much of the area, so another Red Flag Warning will go
into effect from 10 AM until 10 PM. West winds are forecast to
increase to 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 to 60 mph at times,
and humidity levels again dropping into the 5 to 15 percent range.
Any fires that do start on Saturday may be difficult to contain
due to such strong wind gusts.

High fire danger is possible across the San Luis Valley on Sunday.

Light snow makes a return Saturday night into Sunday morning as a
system passes through the region. Forecast new snowfall amounts
currently are 2 to 5 inches for the central mountains, 2 to 3
inches for Teller County, up to 2 inches for the Palmer Divide and
Pikes Peak, and up to an inch for El Paso County and the eastern
slopes of the eastern mountains and the La Garita mountains.
Winds will also increase over the mountains Saturday night and
continue through Sunday morning. The strongest gusts, up to 75
mph, will be possible across the Sawatch Ranges, Sangre De Cristo
mountains and Huerfano county. Strong northerly wind gusts up to
around 60 mph will be possible across the eastern plains Sunday as
a cold front rushes south. Secure loose objects outside.

Critical fire weather conditions will likely return to the area
starting Tuesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed tonight.
