Storms look to spread south and east across the immediate adjacent plains through the late afternoon and evening hours and out across the far southeast plains through the late evening hours and into early Thursday morning. With abundant moisture in place, locally heavy rainfall will be possible with all storms, leading to the potential of flash flooding across the area today, particularly on area burn scars and over urban locations. In addition, a few storms over the eastern plains could reach severe limits during the afternoon, producing 1 inch diameter hail and 60 mph winds. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected Thursday and Friday. Coverage of thunderstorms is then expected to diminish some and be most likely across the higher terrain and adjacent locations through the weekend and into the first part of next week. Risks with the storms will be lightning, small hail, and gusty winds to 50 mph. Some storms could become marginally severe with wind gusts to around 60 mph and quarter size hail. There will also be a potential for flash flooding, especially Thursday and Friday, and particularly across burn scars and urban areas. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely this afternoon and evening across much of southern Colorado. 23/23
