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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered thunderstorms will develop over the mountains and along
a stalled cold front across the far southeast plains this
afternoon. These storms will form lines and clusters as they
spread eastward into the plains and become more widespread during
the evening. One or two storms across the southeast mountains and
plains could briefly become severe this afternoon and evening,
producing hail to around the size of quarters, wind gusts around
60 mph, locally heavy rainfall and lightning. Flash flooding will
be of primary concern today, particularly for burn scars and areas
where soils are already saturated from recent rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Thunderstorms, some strong to marginally severe, will also be
possible on Wednesday and to a lesser degree on Thursday.
The primary meteorological threats will once again be hail around
the size of quarters, wind gusts around 60 mph, lightning and locally
heavy rainfall capable of producing localized flash flooding,
especially over recent burn scars and over locations that have had
recent heavy rainfall.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible across most of southern Colorado this afternoon and
evening.
