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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A dryline will set up this afternoon over the far eastern plains,
leaving conditions favorable for strong to severe storms. However,
storms will have to overcome a stable layer of air to form, making
chances for storms much less likely, typically 15 percent or less.

If storms do manage to form, they could quickly become strong to
severe, producing winds in excess in 65 mph and hail up to 1.5
inches in diameter.

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across the higher
terrain today as well, though fuels are still too green to warrant
any fire weather highlights at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A few strong to severe storms will be possible on Saturday
afternoon and evening, from the Palmer Divide, southeast across
the Plains. Large hail and damaging winds may be possible with
stronger storms, especially across the Palmer Divide region.

Showers and thunderstorms, some possible strong to severe, are
forecast for Sunday into Monday, initially developing along the
Eastern Mountains, and tracking south and east across the Plains.
Stronger storms will be capable of producing large hail and
damaging winds.

Daily afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will
continue Tuesday through Friday. Activity will develop over the
Mountains, then spread east across the Plains during the evening.
A couple of storms during this period could become strong.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Colorado, southwest
Colorado, west central Colorado, east central Utah, northeast Utah
and southeast Utah.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Hot, dry, and windy conditions continue today. Critical fire weather
conditions will be widespread today. Cured fuels in eastern Utah and
western Colorado have required a Red Flag Warning today for multiple

today, then diminish around sunset.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Hot, dry, and windy conditions continue Saturday. Fire Weather

showers and thunderstorms emerges Saturday afternoon over northeast
Utah and northwest Colorado. Lighter winds and scattered
showers/thunderstorms return Sunday. Shower coverage will be highly
localized this week thanks to inconsistent moisture supplies. Non-
zero precipitation chances remain in the forecast each afternoon next
week.
