This hazardous weather outlook is for extreme southwest Nebraska...
northwest Kansas and east central Colorado.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

A developing low pressure system in Colorado will intensify and
track eastward across the Central Plains late this weekend, bringing
a variety of high impact weather to the region. Dangerous travel
conditions are likely along the entire Tri-State area late Sunday
into Monday, including Interstate 70.

Strong southwesterly winds, well above normal temperatures and dry
conditions will result in a very high Grassland fire danger on both
Saturday and Sunday.

Severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and damaging
winds may develop in advance of an approaching cold front Sunday
afternoon, mainly along and east of Highway 25 in northwest Kansas.

Very strong northerly winds will develop in the wake of an Arctic
cold frontal passage late Sunday afternoon and evening. The abrupt
nature of the wind shift, and sudden onset of strong northerly winds,
possibly accompanied by blowing dust, may catch motorists off guard,
especially along the Interstate 70 corridor in far northwest Kansas
and eastern Colorado. Any ongoing fires would likely become extremely
difficult if not impossible to control as the sudden wind shift with
the front moves through.

Snow and blowing snow are likely across portions of the area Sunday
night into Monday. While snowfall amounts are uncertain, any amount
of snow combined with the very strong northerly winds will produce
reductions in visibility and thus difficult travel conditions.

Those with sensitive livestock should prepare for very cold
temperatures Sunday night into Monday morning and Monday night into
Tuesday morning when air temperatures will fall into the teens and
wind chill readings fall to around zero.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
