This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east

central...south central and southeast Colorado.



.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight



Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon into 

this evening. Chances for storms will be highest over the far 

eastern plains, with odds decreasing further to the west. Storms 

that form are expected to intensify, becoming strong to severe. Main 

impact concerns will be damaging winds 70 to 80 mph and hail of 2

to 2 and a half inches in diameter. An isolated tornado will be

possible. 



A Red Flag Warning is in effect for all of the mountains, the

valleys and most of the plains along the I-25 corridor region

extending out to the La Junta region. Please do not do anything

that could cause a spark and start a wildfire. 



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Thursday



On Sunday, isolated to scattered storms will be possible over the

plains. Strong storms will be possible mainly east of a line from

Calhan to Fowler to Branson. One or two severe storms will be

possible over the far eastern plains. Winds to 60 to 70 mph will

be possible along with ping-pong size hail. 



Over the mountains on Sunday, critical fire weather conditions are

likely and a red flog warning is in effect for many areas of the 

higher terrain



From Monday through late week, showers and thunderstorms will be 

possible over the plains each day. A persistent upslope pattern 

combined with several weak disturbances in the northwesterly flow 

aloft will allow for these storms to become strong to severe. Large 

hail, damaging winds and a tornado or two will be possible through 

this period. 



Over the mountains, it will remain quite warm and very dry, and fire 

weather concerns will be high through this period over the higher 

terrain. 



.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...



Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will

be possible over portions of the region.
