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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Isolated showers and thunderstorms across the southeast Plains
this evening will diminish as they continue to move north and
east through the early morning hours. The main threat from
thunderstorms will be lightning, with brief moderate rainfall
and gusty outflow winds up to 40 mph also possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A cold front is forecast to push south into the eastern plains
Saturday evening. Right along the frontal boundary, as it pushes
south, will be a favorable spot for thunderstorm development. The
main threat with thunderstorms will be locally heavy rainfall,
hail up to 1/2 inch in diameter, dangerous cloud to ground
lightning, and wind gusts up to 45 mph. One or two strong to
severe storms will be possible across the far eastern plains near
the Kansas state line during the afternoon and early evening.
These storms will have the potential of producing one inch
diameter hail and wind gusts in excess of 60 mph.

Warmer weather will spread across all areas Saturday. This will
lead to increased snow melt over the mountains with creeks and
rivers expected to run high.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are then expected across
southern Colorado Sunday through Thursday, with the main risks
being locally heavy rainfall, lightning, small hail, and gusty
outflow winds. Localized flash flooding will be possible on newer
burn scars should they take a direct hit from a more intense
thunderstorm.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed tonight.
