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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Monsoon moisture has moved over the State of Colorado. This will
allow for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the
mountains and valleys. Given the increase in moisture, the risk
of flash flooding over the numerous burn scars over the region
will be on the increase.

Over the southeast plains, isolated to scattered storms are
expected this evening. The main storm threats will be lighting,
locally heavy rain and wind gusts up to 45 mph. However, some of
the stronger storms could also produce small hail.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Strong to potentially marginally severe thunderstorms are possible
during primarily the afternoon into the evening hours from
Wednesday into Saturday. The primary storm risks from the more
intense storms will be hail around the size of quarters, wind
gusts around 60 mph, lightning and locally heavy rain which will
be capable of generating localized flash flooding.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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