The main impact concern will be heavy rainfall producing flash flood conditions across burn scars and higher risk areas for mudslides across the higher terrain. The adjacent plains and I-25 corridor will be seeing the chance for flash flooding conditions for roads, creeks, streams, and lower- lying urban areas. Greatest risks for impacts today will be spread across Chaffee, Lake, Fremont, Teller, and El Paso Counties. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will also be possible across the eastern plains, along and north of Highway 50 and east of I-25, between 2 PM and midnight. Wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, torrential rainfall, and hail up to 1 inch in diameter will be the primary storm risks. Thunderstorms will continue into the overnight hours, with showers lasting over the higher terrain after midnight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday Widely scattered to numerous thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon and evening hours over the mountains on Tuesday. A few thunderstorms will be possible over the plains, mainly along the I-25 corridor. Flash flooding will be possible, especially over burn scar areas with the Chalk Cliffs/Cottonwood burn scars at highest risk. Scattered thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon over the mountains on Wednesday through Friday. Some storms will be possible over the plains, but more isolated coverage is expected. Flash flooding will be possible, yet the risk will be lessened. Highest risk will be over the Spring burn scar on Wednesday. A slight risk of severe thunderstorms will be possible over the far eastern plains on Thursday afternoon, main threat with these storms will be strong outflow winds of 60 mph or greater, and hail of up to 1 inch in diameter. On Saturday and Sunday, thunderstorms will become more widely scattered to numerous across all areas with a higher risk of flash flooding, especially over the burn scar and urbanized areas. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely over portions of the region. GARBEROGLIO/EHR
