Burn scar flash flooding will be possible over the Spring, Junkins, Decker and Hayden Pass burn scars if a stronger storm impacts these areas.

An isolated landspout tornado will be possible, particularly near the Kansas border. The stronger storms today are more likely to occur east of the I-25 corridor. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Daily scattered afternoon thunderstorms are expected over the higher terrain through the forecast period. Meanwhile, isolated thunderstorms are anticipated over the plains from Wednesday through Saturday, with the best chances being on Thursday. The primary risks with any storms will be lightning and gusty outflow winds. A few of the stronger storms may also produce small hail and locally heavy rainfall. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible this afternoon and evening over the southeast mountains and plains. 31/SKELLY
