All storms today will produce gusty winds to 50 mph and lightning, and a few stronger storms over the eastern plains may produce small hail and brief heavy rainfall. Along the Continental Divide, storms will produce gusty winds and lightning, but little rainfall, which may lead to fire starts given the dry fuels in the region. A Marginal risk for severe weather has been extended to across the far eastern plains. Early this evening, there is a chance for isolated severe storms with 60 mph winds and nickel sized hail being the main risks. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday A passing cold front Thursday night will allow for increasing low level moisture across the eastern plains on Friday. The increased available moisture, combined with strong daytime heating, will allow for scattered to numerous afternoon and evening thunderstorms across the area Friday. A few of these storms across the southeast plains could be severe, producing large hail and damaging wind gusts. Warmer and drier southwesterly flow developing across the area this weekend will allow for less coverage of diurnal thunderstorms. However, this will also lead to increasing fire danger and the potential for critical fire weather conditions across the area into early next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible across the eastern mountains and southeast plains this afternoon and evening. SKELLY/SKELLY
