           from the La Junta automated observing system.

  IMPACT...Hail damage to vehicles is expected. Expect considerable 
           tree damage. Wind damage is also likely to mobile homes, 
           roofs, and outbuildings.

* Locations impacted include...

  Sheridan Lake, Haswell, Neeoshe Reservoir, McClave, Chivington,
  Brandon, Blue Lake, Bristol, Sweetwater Reservoir, Hasty, Neegronda
  Reservoir, Arlington and Queens Reservoir.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a

lightning. Do not wait for the sound of thunder before taking cover.
SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY inside a sturdy structure and stay away from
