This hazardous weather outlook is for extreme southwest Nebraska...
northwest Kansas and east central Colorado.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

There is a slight risk for severe thunderstorms across the area
beginning this afternoon and continuing tonight. Storms are expected
to develop after 3 PM MT in Northeast Colorado and the Tri-border
area, then move southeast into Northwest Kansas between 4 and 8 PM
MT. Any storm that develops during this time will be capable of
producing hail up to baseball size, damaging winds around 70 MPH, and
perhaps a tornado or two. The favorable area for tornadoes to form
will be Yuma County area from 5 to 7 PM MT.

Overnight, a few severe storms will be possible, mainly over
Northwest Kansas, which could produce large hail. There is low
confidence for the strongest storms to produce hail up to baseball
size overnight.

Areas of fog will likely develop late tonight. The fog may be dense
at times.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

Areas of fog will persist into Saturday morning with dense fog
possible.

Thunderstorm chances continue through the weekend. Some severe
storms will be possible, but confidence in details such as location,
intensity and timing are low at this time.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon 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. An isolated tornado near the Kansas border can
not be ruled out.

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.
