...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE MOUNTAINS, FOOTHILLS, AND HIGH
MOUNTAIN VALLEYS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR DRY
THUNDERSTORMS...

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Sudden and gusty outflow winds to 40-50 mph or more will be
possible from any high based showers or storms that develop this
afternoon. Some of these won`t even produce precipitation at the
ground. They will mostly occur between 2 pm and 8 pm. It will be
hot as well, so be sure to stay hydrated and take plenty of breaks
if the shade if working outdoors. The hot and dry conditions will
also lead to elevated fire weather conditions today.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

The potential for new wildfire starts will increase Thursday, as
the risk of dry thunderstorms (lightning but little rainfall)
rises. They will also be capable of producing gusty outflow winds
to 40-50 mph or more. Temperatures will heat up to the highest of
the week, with highs expected to reach the upper 90s across the
plains and I-25 Corridor. A few spots on the plains could touch
100F.

Somewhat higher storm coverage can be expected Friday and
Saturday, mainly over the mountains. Drier weather is expected to
return again by Sunday and continue into early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be required today or tonight.
