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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected this
afternoon and evening across much of Southern Colorado.  Initial
storm development is expected by late morning over the mountains,
spreading east into the Plains this afternoon and evening.  Locally
heavy rainfall and lightning will be possible over the mountains. As
storms move into the Plains, a couple of strong to severe storms are
possible.  Additional threats across the Plains will be hail to near
1 inch in diameter and gusty winds to near 60 mph.

Flash flooding will be possible on area burn scars and in urban
areas.  This is especially true for areas that have seen heavy
rainfall over the past few days.  Remember, to turn around, do not
drown! Flash flooding in and near burn scars can be especially
dangerous due to debris filled streams.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Active weather will continue on Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms
will develop initially over the mountains, spreading east across
the Plains during the afternoon and evening hours. Flash flooding
will be possible on area burn scars. In addition to the flash
flood threat, one or two storms may become strong to severe with
hail near one inch in diameter and winds gusting to near 60 mph.

More isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected
for the upcoming work week. The most likely areas to see this
activity will be over the mountains, with weak steering flows
keeping the activity tied to the terrain.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible over southeast and south central Colorado this afternoon
and evening.
