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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

A few strong to marginally severe thunderstorms will be possible
this afternoon, mainly across the interior southeast mountains
and the adjacent plains, and I-25 corridor. Storms will start
over the mountains, with some moving over the plains late this
afternoon into this evening. Main impact concerns will be hail up
to 1.5 inches in diameter, wind gusts to 60 mph, and locally heavy
rainfall.

There is also a very slight chance for a brief landspout tornado
today in the Wet Mountain Valley.

Localized flash flooding will be a concern today for burn scars,
urban areas, and for creeks and streams close to the mountains
that are already running high due to snow melt.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

A few strong thunderstorms will be possible across the mountains and
adjacent valleys and plains for Monday. Thunderstorm risks will be
lightning, locally heavy rainfall, and small hail under 1 inch in
diameter.  Localized flash flooding will be possible on burn scars
and for urban areas.

Thunderstorm chances gradually decrease through next week with the
thunderstorm risks transitioning toward gusty outflow winds up to 50
mph and lightning as we dry out and heat up once more.  Another
uptick in thunderstorms will be possible on Friday with the approach
of another Pacific disturbance.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
