Storms are expected to develop over the Southern Sangres by around noon, and push north and northeastward into the I-25 corridor and our mountain adjacent plains through the afternoon, moving out onto our eastern plains by early this evening. Storms will likely intensify quickly as they move off the terrain, with strong to severe storms pushing out onto our plains throughout the late afternoon and evening hours. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday A few marginally severe thunderstorms will be possible over the plains on Friday. In addition, locally heavy rain will be possible over the plains, especially over parts of El Paso county and along the Colorado and New Mexico border. The mountains and valleys will remain dry. From Saturday into Tuesday, showers and thunderstorms will be more isolated, and will occur predominantly along the east slopes of the southern mountains and adjacent plains. The mountains and valleys will remain dry. By mid week, another disturbance will move across the region bringing cooler weather to the area and a better chance of showers and storms to the plains. With the interior mountains and valleys remaining dry, the Fire Weather danger will be on the increase over the higher terrain. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely over portions of the region. EHR/RODRIGUEZ
