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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across the entire region
today as an intense Pacific storm moves just to the north of the
region. The primary concern will be wind gusts to 40 to 60 mph in
the mountains and valleys,  and 60 to 80 mph over the plains.
Hail up to the size of Ping Pong balls is also possible.

Localized heavy rain will also be possible, but the storms will be
moving rather quickly to the northeast at 25 to 35 mph.

Strong winds of 20 to 40 mph outside of thunderstorms will occur
over the eastern plains through the afternoon.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Warm, dry and breezy conditions are in the offing for Wednesday
through Friday, with the potential for spotty critical fire weather
conditions across portions of the southeast plains. The dry conditions
will also allow for seasonally cool overnight lows with the potential
for near freezing temperatures across the high mountain valleys
through the end of the work week.

Cooler temperatures with increasing chances for showers and
possibly strong thunderstorms can be expected for the weekend,
especially on Saturday, as another rather strong Pacific storm
system moves across the Rockies. There will be the potential for
snowfall across the highest mountain peaks this weekend with the
passage of this weather system.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be near certain over the region this afternoon into mid evening.
