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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered afternoon showers are expected to develop over the
mountains this afternoon, with potential for a few to spill onto
the adjacent plains. With low stratus expected to limit surface
heating through the first half of the day over portions of the
plains, any storms that move off the higher elevations will likely
struggle to maintain their instability as they enter a capped
environment, but there will be enough instability and modest shear
in areas on the Palmer Divide and in the mountains along and south
of I-70 that will allow for isolated severe hail and wind gusts
to be possible.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Afternoon showers and storms are expected to develop over the
higher terrain each day this week, with increasing chances of
making their way onto the lower elevations from Tuesday onward. A
shortwave passing over the Rockies by mid-week will bring more
widespread showers and storms and a brief reprieve from the 90s
for portions of the plains.




.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.

central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

One or two strong to marginally severe thunderstorms will be
possible along the immediate mountains/plains interface this
afternoon and early evening. the best chance for stronger storms
will be across the Sangre De Cristo mountain range and immediate
surrounding areas, including the Raton Mesa region. Hail up to 1
to 1.5 inches in diameter and wind gusts to 60 mph will be
possible in the strongest storms.

Although there is a chance of storms occurring east of I-25, the
likelihood of storms over the plains is low.

Over the remainder of the mountains, the main threat from any
thunderstorm activity will be cloud to ground lightning, and small
hail, and brief periods of heavy rain.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Daily afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are expected
Sunday through Friday. The best chances for storm activity will be
found across the mountains and high valleys Sunday through Tuesday,
then will become more widespread and include the eastern plains
starting Wednesday. The primary threat from any of the stronger
storms will be gusty outflow winds nearing 60 mph. Otherwise, the
most likely hazards with any organized storms will be gusty outflow
winds around 40 mph, small hail, frequent cloud to ground lightning,
and brief periods of moderate to heavy rain.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...


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