Clouds will break up by afternoon as dry gusty west winds spread across the mountains and into the adjacent lower elevations. Wind gusts will range from 40 to 50 mph across the mountains, San Luis valley and southern I-25 corridor this afternoon. This will lead to critical fire weather conditions for the lower elevations of the southern Sangre De Cristo mountains, Wet mountains, and portions of Fremont, Pueblo, Huerfano and Las Animas counties where vegetation is dry enough to support rapid fire growth and spread. Care should be taken to avoid wildfire starts in these areas. Isolated strong to near severe thunderstorms will be possible across the southeast plains this afternoon and evening. Hail up to the size of dimes, wind gusts up to 50 mph, brief heavy rainfall and lightning will be the primary storm risks. The most likely areas for this to occur will be across northern and eastern El Paso county, and Kiowa, Bent, Prowers and Baca counties. The cold front will surge back into southeast Colorado tonight with light snow possible across the southeast mountains and adjacent plains. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches will be possible in and near the mountains, with a localized dusting to up to 1/2 inch possible on grassy surfaces possible below 6000 feet. The mountains along the Continental Divide will also see some snow above 9000 feet through tonight with accumulations of up to 4 inches possible. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday Accumulating snow, heavy at times is expected over the mountains and higher terrain locations this weekend with localized snow totals in excess of six inches possible, especially over the Sangre de Cristo and eastern San Juan mountains. Then, next upper disturbance will be capable of producing additional light to moderate snow over the mountains from later Tuesday into next Wednesday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible this afternoon through tonight across the mountains and southeast plains.
