Although storm coverage will not be as great as yesterday, strong deep-layer wind shear remains in place over the region, and there will likely be enough instability for thunderstorms to develop once again, especially late this afternoon and evening. The best chance for severe storms will be over northern El Paso county, Kiowa county and Las Animas county. Although only isolated severe storms are expected, given the strong wind shear, any thunderstorm that develops could be quite intense. Hail to 2 inches in diameter, wind gusts to 70 mph and a tornado could occur, with the greatest threat of tornado activity occurring on the Palmer Divide. Critical fire weather conditions will be possible over the San Luis Valley today. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon the rest of this week. Monday through Wednesday will see activity mostly confined to the Palmer Divide and the far eastern border, while late Wednesday and onwards most of the activity will be over the higher terrain. Critical fire weather conditions will be possible each afternoon through at least Wednesday due to gusty winds and dry conditions. The greatest areas of concern will be the San Luis Valley and the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountains. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible over portions of the region. Hodanish
