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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

An unseasonably strong storm system will continue to move across
the Rockies through tonight, bringing the potential to produce
strong to severe thunderstorms across all of south central and
southeast Colorado this afternoon and evening.

Over the mountains and valleys, heavy rain, wind gusts to 60 mph and
hail up to the size of quarters will be possible with the stronger
storms. Localized flash flooding will also be possible, especially
if the heavy rain falls across the newer burn areas of the Spring,
Junkins and Hayden Pass burn scars. Local snow accumulations of
up to a few inches will also be possible across the higher peaks.
Most of the stronger storms will occur this afternoon.

Across the I-25 Corridor through the far southeast Plains, strong to
severe thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon through tonight.
Storm intensity will be dependent on how unstable the atmosphere
can become, with areas which receive more daytime heating will see
the best chances for severe storms. The main threat from storms
will be large hail greater than an inch in diameter, damaging wind
gusts up to 70 mph and heavy rain, with even a tornado or two also
possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Isolated afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will be
possible each day. The primary threats will be hail up to the size
of nickels and wind gusts to 45 mph.

All storms will produce dangerous cloud to ground lightning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible
across all of south central and southeast Colorado this afternoon
and evening.
