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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Several severe thunderstorms capable of producing winds of 75 to
90 mph are expected to occur later this afternoon and early
eveningover the far eastern plains.

Showers and thunderstorms over the higher terrain will spread
east into the I-25 corridor by early afternoon.  The main
thunderstorm risks along the I-25 corridor will be wind gusts to
50 to 60 mph, along with small hail and lightning.  As storms
progress eastward this afternoon and evening, the environment will
become more favorable for severe storms, and these storms over
the far eastern plains will have the capability to produce winds
between 75 to 90 mph. The greatest risk of these dangerous winds
will be between 3 pm and 7 pm.  People who live over the far
eastern plains, especially east of a line from La Junta to Kim,
should prepare for the potential of damaging winds this afternoon
and evening.

Dangerous fire weather conditions will exist today along the
Continental Divide and San Luis Valley, with gusty northwest winds
and low humidity values. Avoid activities that could spark a
fire.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Daily afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are
expected Friday through Wednesday. Friday has the highest chances
of stronger storms, particularly across the eastern plains, with
strong outflow winds around 60 mph the primary hazard. Otherwise,
the most likely hazards with any more organized storms will be
gusty outflow winds, small hail, frequent lightning, and brief
periods of heavy rain.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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