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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Scattered thunderstorms are expected over the mountains today,
with isolated storms moving into the adjacent plains during the
afternoon. The main risks with thunderstorms will be locally heavy
rainfall, cloud to ground lightning and gusty erratic winds up to
50 mph.

One or two strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across
the far eastern plains from mid-afternoon into the evening,
roughly along and east of a line stretching from Eads to Kim. The
main threats from these storms will be hail one to one and a half
inches in diameter, and wind gusts up to 60 mph.

Due to the light northerly steering flow today, any thunderstorms
that develop over or near area burn scars may be slow moving and
could produce flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will remain in the forecast
through the period with the best chances over the mountains along
the Continental Divide. The southeast plains will trend towards a
drier and hotter pattern especially late week. The best chance
for more widespread thunderstorms may come on Wednesday when the
monsoon moisture plume aloft spreads back eastward into the
southeast mountains and I-25 corridor. The main risks with
thunderstorms each day will be locally heavy rainfall which could
cause flash flooding on burn scars. The day with the most
elevated concern for burn scar flash flooding appears to be
Wednesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible across the southeast plains this afternoon and evening.
