Forecast rainfall totals with storms today range from around 2 inches over the San Juans to around a half and inch over the Sangres. Other risks with a few stronger storms will be large hail up to 1 inch diameter, damaging winds gusting to 60 mph, and lightning. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday Much warmer and drier conditions return for the weekend and into early next week. There will be enough residual moisture to support a few afternoon showers and storms over and near the higher terrain into early next week, with the main threats from any thunderstorm being lightning and gusty outflow winds. Temperatures will continue to warm to well above seasonal levels in the mid 90s to around 105 degrees across the plains by early next week. Another influx of subtropical moisture will move into the Central Rockies through the middle of next week, leading to an expected uptick in shower and thunderstorm coverage and intensity and slightly cooler temperatures into the end of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible over portions of the region. $$ EHR/23
