THIS OUTLOOK PERTAINS TO THE FOLLOWING COLORADO COUNTIES

ADAMS     ARAPAHOE     BOULDER   CLEAR CREEK   DENVER       DOUGLAS
ELBERT    GILPIN       GRAND     JACKSON       JEFFERSON    LARIMER

SYNOPSIS: MOISTURE HAS INCREASED ACROSS THE AREA AT ALL LEVELS.  IN
ADDITION A COUPLE OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL ENHANCE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE AREA.  ONE IS MOVING NORTH ALONG
THE FRONT RANGE...LOCATED WEST OF COLORADO SPRINGS THIS MORNING.
ANOTHER IS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.  FINALLY...A LOW LEVEL
BOUNDARY IS PRESENT FROM WEST OF LIMON NORTH ACROSS EASTERN ARAPAHOE
AND ADAMS COUNTIES...SEPARATING NORTHWEST WINDS TO THE WEST FROM
SOUTHEAST FLOW.  THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY FORMING NORTHWEST OF
GREELEY AND WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
WINDS ALOFT ARE LIGHT...SO WELL-ORGANIZED STORMS ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED.  THE MAIN THREAT IS EXPECTED TO BE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS.  HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS BUT
SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS.

AT THIS TIME SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED BUT RAINFALL
REPORTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.   SZOKE
