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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

An upper level disturbance will act to trigger a few thunderstorms
over the region today.  The most likely area for storms will be over
the Pikes Peak Region including both Teller and El Paso Counties.
These areas could see storm development by early afternoon.  As the
afternoon progresses, some of this activity could work south and
eastward across Fremont, Custer, Pueblo, Crowley and Otero Counties.
Elsewhere, isolated storms will be possible today but the overall
coverage of storms will be rather limited.  Primary storm threats
today will include locally heavy rain, wind gusts to around 50 mph,
pea size hail and lightning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Expect isolated to scattered thunderstorms each day. Storm
activity is expected to become more tied to the higher terrain
starting Saturday, and more sparse across the eastern plains. The
main threats from the storms will be small hail, gusty winds and
lightning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible this afternoon and evening, primarily around the Pikes Peak
Region.
