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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are again expected over the
southeast mountains and eastern plains today, while mainly isolated
thunderstorms are forecast from the Continental Divide into the San
Luis and Upper Arkansas Valleys. 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.
