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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms will develop over the mountains by early
afternoon, and spread east into the Interstate 25 corridor during
the mid afternoon time period, and onto the plains this evening.
Although showers and storms will be possible over all of the
higher terrain and I-25 corridor region this afternoon, the
overall best chance of stronger storms will be over the greater
Pikes Peak region, especially Fremont, Teller and western El Paso
counties. Storms today will be capable of gusty winds of 40 to 50
mph, with localized gusts to 60 mph. Hail up to the size of
quarters will be possible, especially in Fremont, Teller and
western El Paso counties.

Storms will move out onto the plains by late afternoon and early
evening, and these storms will be capable of strong gusty winds to
50 to 60 mph, especially over far southeast Colorado.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Scattered to numerous afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms
are expected across the region on Wednesday. The main storm threats
will include lightning, gusty outflow winds, small hail and locally
heavy rainfall leading to possible flash flooding. A few severe storms,
producing strong winds to around 60 mph and larger hail to the size
of quarters, may also possible across the southeast mountains and
plains on Wednesday.

Warmer and drier conditions are expected across the southeast plains
Thursday through Saturday, while isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms will remain possible over and near the higher terrain.
Cooler temperatures with another uptick in thunderstorm coverage
remains in the offing for Sunday and Monday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over the region, with the main concern over Fremont
county, Teller county and the western sections of El Paso county.
