This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Strong southwest winds gusting to 30 to 50 mph today will produce
widespread critical fire weather conditions across much of the
eastern plains as well as portions of the San Luis Valley. As has
been noted this past week, no fire weather highlights are
anticipated at this time due to fuels still going through green-up.
The strong winds will also produce areas of blowing dust across the
San Luis Valley today starting by 10 AM and lasting through the
afternoon. Be prepared for rapidly changing visibility on area
highways, especially this afternoon.
Snow will return to the Continental Divide today, lasting through
Monday morning. 4 to 8 inches of new snow can be expected across the
higher peaks, with areas of blowing and drifting snow anticipated.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected
across the area from Monday into Monday night, before precipitation
tapers off Tuesday morning. Gusty winds to 50 mph, lightning and
small hail will be the main storm threats, with some snow possible
above 12000 feet.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
