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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Strong winds will develop in/near the Front Range Mountains and
Foothills late tonight with peak gusts of 55-65 mph, and
localized gusts up to 75 mph in/immediately adjacent to the
foothills of Boulder County.

Snow will move into the mountains this evening, and then shift
mainly to areas north of the I-70 Mountain Corridor and Summit
County late tonight. Travel will become slick and hazardous in
the mountains later this evening as temperatures fall and roads
become snow covered. Only isolated to scattered light showers will
occur on the plains, most of these closer to the Wyoming border.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Snow and areas of blowing snow will continue Monday, mainly in
the mountains north of the I-70 Corridor and Summit County. Storm
total accumulations by the time snow winds down late Monday will
be 4 to 10 inches in the mountains from Rabbit Ears Pass
northward. The northern Front Range mountains should see anywhere
from 2-6 inches, with lighter amounts of 1-3 inches in the
mountains of Summit County (most of that falling mid to late
this evening). The strong and gusty winds along the Front Range
and northern border area will gradually decrease Monday afternoon
and evening.

Temperatures will turn cooler early next week and hold near or
below normal through the remainder of this outlook. There will be
another chance of rain and snow Thursday into Friday, but
considerable uncertainty exists regarding the track and intensity
of this potential storm system.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed. However, any reports of
high wind or accumulating snow in the mountains will be
appreciated.

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

A brief round of heavy wind driven snow will impact the
Continental Divide mountains late this afternoon through tonight.
The heaviest snow will fall this evening, particularly across the
eastern San Juan mountains where 2 to 8 inches will be possible
across the higher terrain. Brief snow squalls could occur this
evening which may cause rapidly deteriorating travel conditions
and poor visibility in heavy snow. Rain and snow showers will
quickly dissipate as they move east of the mountains tonight.

Strong westerly winds will spread down the lower eastern slopes
of the southeast mountains west of I-25 tonight. Localized gusts
up to 65 mph will be possible in spotty areas close to the
mountains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Snow showers form over the Continental Divide on Wednesday, which
will linger through Friday for that portion of the mountains. By
Thursday afternoon the storm system will be impacting the eastern
mountains and the eastern plains, where there is a low
probability of snow over the Palmer Divide and the Raton Mesa.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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