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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Thunderstorms in the mountains this afternoon and evening will be
capable of locally heavy rainfall which could cause localized areas
of flash flooding. In addition, rock slides will be possible in
the canyons this afternoon and evening. These same storms will
also be capable of localized wind gusts to 50 to 60 mph, and hail
up to the size of quarters. A few of these storms will move off
the mountains into the adjacent valleys and I-25 corridor later
today and will be capable of strong winds to 50 to 60 mph and hail
the size of quarter, The greatest risk for this east of the
mountains will be across El Paso County.

Periodic showers with embedded thunderstorms will continue into
the overnight hours across the eastern San Juans where heavy
rainfall could lead to localized flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Daily chances of showers and thunderstorms can be expected across
south central and southeast Colorado through the weekend, with the
best coverage of storms along and west of the Continental Divide
on Friday. Increased available moisture on Friday will also support
the potential for a few stronger storms producing gusty outflow
winds up to 55 mph and hail to near the size of pennies. There
will also be the potential for locally heavy rainfall on Friday,
leading to possible flash flooding, especially over area burn
scars and across the southwest mountains where heavy rainfall the
day before may lead to saturated soil conditions and less capacity
for heavy rainfall.

Much warmer and drier conditions return for early next week, with
temperatures warming back to well above seasonal levels in the
mid 90s to around 105 degrees across the plains, and mainly in the
70s and 80s across the higher terrain. There will be enough
moisture to support a few high based storms producing more wind
than rain across the higher terrain early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
