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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Scattered thunderstorms developing across the mountains and high
valleys at midday will spread eastward into the plains during the
afternoon and evening. The main threat with thunderstorms will be
gusty winds up to 50 mph, lightning, and locally heavy rainfall.
However, one or two storms could become strong to severe late this
afternoon and evening as they move into the southeast plains and
encounter better moisture and lift along a cold front. These
storms will be capable of producing hail up to the size of
quarters and wind gusts to around 60 mph. The area with the
greatest threat of stronger storms will be east of I-25 and along
and north of highway 50.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A few strong to severe storms are possible Saturday afternoon,
generally over the Eastern Mountains, east into the Palmer Divide
and Raton Mesa areas. Hail to near one inch in diameter and winds
in excess of 50 mph are possible. Abundant moisture and low level
upslope may lead to locally heavy rainfall, especially over the
Eastern Mountains, and flash flooding may be elevated on area burn
scars.

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to
prevail over the mountains areas through Sunday through Thursday.
Lightning and gusty outflow winds will be the primary threat.
There may be better chances for a few thunderstorms to move out
over the Plains by midweek.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible across the southeast plains this afternoon and evening.
