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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT...

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

A variety of high impact weather will affect the region Sunday
through Monday. Hazardous travel conditions are likely across the
entire Tri-State area, including Interstate 70, late Sunday through
Monday.

South to southwest winds gusting 30 to 45 mph will combine with
above normal temperatures and dry fuels to produce high to extreme
Grassland fire danger on Sunday. All outdoor burning should be
avoided.

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. Sustained
winds at 30 to 45 mph and gusts ranging from 55 to 65 mph are
expected. 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 fires
ongoing will shift their direction of movement abruptly, becoming
nearly impossible to control once the front moves through.

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

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
