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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Heavy rain capable of causing flash flooding will be likely today,
and this heavy rain threat will last into the overnight hours. In
addition, severe thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon
and evening across all of the southeast plains.

The greatest flash flood threat area will be over the southern
mountains, including the Wet Mountains, the Wet Mountain Valley, all
of the Sangre De Cristo mountain region, Fremont county and Teller
county. Over the plains, the best chance of flash flooding rainfall
will occur along the entire I-25 corridor region, and over the
plains generally along and north of a line from Kim to Lamar. The
heavy rainfall threat may last through the evening for the
southeast mountains and adjacent valleys, and into the early
morning hours for the southeast plains.

The greatest severe thunderstorm threat will be over the southeast plains
generally along and north of a line from Trinidad to Springfield.
The primary threat will be strong winds to 60 to 70 mph. Localized
hail up to around 1 inch in diameter will be possible with the
isolated stronger storms. And a brief weak tornado or two cannot
be ruled out, especially along a slow moving boundary which will
progress southward across the plains this afternoon, mainly along
and north of highway 50.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Rain shower and thunderstorm activity is expected Monday. Rain,
heavy at times, is possible, with a risk of widespread flooding.
Flash flooding over area burn scars, urban corridors, and saturated
soils may occur.

The coverage of rain showers and thunderstorms is expected to lessen
for midweek. However, scattered thunderstorms will remain possible
for Tuesday through Saturday over the mountains and mountain
valleys, with more isolated storm activity across the eastern
plains, particularly along the I-25 Corridor.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely over much of the region, particularly in and near the
southeast mountains and the southeast plains.
