.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop over the mountains,
and then spread east across the I-25 Corridor and adjacent plains
during the afternoon and evening. Some of the storms will produce
locally heavy rain, with 1-2 inches possible in a 30-45 minute
period. Burn scars will be most at risk for flash flooding,
although street and localized lowland flooding can be expected
with any stronger storms moving through the I-25 Corridor and
plains. One or two storms may also approach severe levels with
hail and strong winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

The weather pattern will remain active with scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms through at least Thursday, with a
slow decrease of thunderstorm coverage and intensity thereafter.
The greatest risk of any storms producing flash flooding would be
decreasing after Thursday. Drier conditions will likely arrive
for Sunday into early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight. However,
any reports of heavy rain or flooding will be appreciated.
