Initial impact concerns will be the potential for flash flooding due to locally heavy rainfall, mainly over the Aspen Acres burn scar, along with outflow winds up to 50 mph and lightning. The greatest potential for burn scar flash flooding appears to be in the noon to 6 pm time frame. As storms move onto the plains during the afternoon, they will increase in coverage and intensity, with some becoming strong to severe to the east of I-25. The greatest chance of severe storms will be over the far southeast plains, especially across Bent, Prowers and Baca Counties, from late afternoon into early evening. These storms may produce winds of 60 to 70 mph, hail up to one inch in diameter, frequent lightning, and brief heavy rainfall. Storms then move into northeastern New Mexico and western Kansas through the evening, with clearing skies overnight across south central and southeast Colorado. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday Isolated thunderstorms are possible Saturday afternoon, mainly over the eastern mountains and across the Pikes Peak region. Gusty outflow winds, occasional cloud to ground lightning and brief rainfall will be possible, with storms ending quickly by early evening. Warmer and drier conditions develop from Sunday through much of next week, with some spotty critical fire weather conditions possible over the mountains and San Luis Valley from Sunday into Thursday. Moisture will slowly increase along the Continental Divide by mid-week, with a gradual return of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, mainly on Wednesday and Thursday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible over portions of the region. 23/10
