A few of these storms could become severe as they move off the mountains, producing hail up to the size of golf balls and wind gusts up to 65 mph. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across the western mountains and interior valleys this afternoon. However with less moisture available in the atmosphere, these storms will be more likely to produce gusty winds up to 50 mph and lightning, and only spotty light rainfall amounts. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Near critical fire weather conditions are expected to develop across all of the region on Thursday due to a combination of gusty southwest winds, low humidity values and very warm temperatures. From Friday into the weekend, and into next week, a more wetter pattern is expected over the region, especially over the mountains. Some of the showers and storms will be capable of locally heavy rain, especially this weekend. The primary threats from thunderstorms during this period will be locally heavy rain, winds gusts to 45 mph and cloud to ground lightning. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible this afternoon into this evening across the all of southeast Colorado plains. 31/23
