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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across the far eastern
plains this afternoon and evening, particularly across Kiowa,
Prowers, and Baca counties.  Hail up to 1.25 inches in diameter and
wind gusts to around 60 mph will be the primary storm risks. Locally
heavy rainfall and dangerous cloud to ground lightning will also be
possible.

Breezy west winds and low humidity will spread across the mountains
and I-25 corridor this afternoon.  This will result in spotty
critical to near critical fire weather conditions along portions of
the I-25 corridor this afternoon. However, wetting rains overnight
and early this morning should decrease this risk and keep conditions
more isolated.

Some patchy frost or a light freeze will be possible across northern
El Paso county tonight along the crest of the Palmer Divide.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Areas of frost may be possible Saturday night into Sunday morning
across portions of the Plains. Those with sensitive plant may want
to prepare to protect them.

A few rain and high elevation snow showers may be possible Monday
into Tuesday morning, mainly from the La Garita Range, north into
the Central Mountains. Minor snow accumulations may be possible
above 10000 feet.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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