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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A messy Spring storm system is expected to impact the area today
and tonight. Precipitation will increase across the region today,
with heavier snow starting to develop later this evening and persist
into Saturday morning for the eastern mountains, southern I-25
corridor, and Raton Mesa area. Snow totals through tonight will be
greatest along these localized areas, with 1 to 2 feet for the
mountains, and 5 to 12 inches for the lower elevations. Roads are
expected to become slushy and slick Friday night, and with the heavy
and wet nature of the snow, along with gusty winds, some strain to
infrastructure and trees will be possibe. Outside of these areas, 5
to 10 inches is expected for the rest of the mountains, with
generally less than 1 inch elsewhere.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Snow will continue across the higher terrain and adjacent plains
Saturday morning, with the greatest snow amounts and potential
travel hazards expected across the southern portions of the
forecast area. Activity is expected to diminish from north to
south Saturday evening.

Fire danger will be on the increase by the middle of the upcoming
work week as conditions dry out and high temperatures climb to
above seasonal normals.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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