SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL COLORADO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
130 PM MDT FRI SEP 1 2000

THIS OUTLOOK PERTAINS TO THE FOLLOWING COLORADO COUNTIES

ADAMS     ARAPAHOE     BOULDER   CLEAR CREEK   DENVER       DOUGLAS
ELBERT    GILPIN       GRAND     JACKSON       JEFFERSON    LARIMER
LINCOLN   LOGAN        MORGAN    PARK          PHILLIPS     SEDGWICK
SUMMIT    WASHINGTON   WELD

SYNOPSIS:  AN INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE AREA...AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT WILL
SWING ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF COLORADO LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.  THE AIRMASS OVER NORTHEASTERN COLORADO WILL
REMAIN MOIST AND UNSTABLE ALLOWING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT.

SINCE THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BE INCREASING...MOST OF THE STORMS WILL
LIKELY PRODUCE BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN.  IN ADDITION...WIND
GUSTS TO 50 MPH...SMALL HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL ALSO OCCUR.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A FEW STORMS BECOMING SEVERE
...THE POTENTIAL REMAINS LOW.  AS A RESULT.. SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS
NOT ANTICIPATED.
