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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Increased thunderstorm coverage and severity is expected over and
near the mountains today, with main risks being excessive rainfall
and flash flooding, especially for area burn scars and across the
southwest mountains where heavy rainfall yesterday and the day
before have led to saturated soil conditions and less capacity
for heavy rainfall. Forecast rainfall totals with storms today
range from around 2 inches over the San Juans to around a half and
inch over the Sangres. Other risks with a few stronger storms
will be large hail up to 1 inch diameter, damaging winds gusting
to 60 mph, and lightning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Much warmer and drier conditions return for the weekend and into
early next week. There will be enough residual moisture to support
a few afternoon showers and storms over and near the higher terrain
into early next week, with the main threats from any thunderstorm
being lightning and gusty outflow winds. Temperatures will continue
to warm to well above seasonal levels in the mid 90s to around
105 degrees across the plains by early next week.

Another influx of subtropical moisture will move into the Central
Rockies through the middle of next week, leading to an expected
uptick in shower and thunderstorm coverage and intensity and
slightly cooler temperatures into the end of next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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