This hazardous weather outlook is for eastern Utah and western
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

The Storm Prediction Center has issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch
#441 that encompasses all of eastern Utah and much of western
Colorado. Anomalous moisture remains across the forecast area
this afternoon with forecast CAPE values reaching between 2500
to 3000 J/kg. Along with this exceptionally high CAPE,
substantial speed shear is also present which may allow some
supercells to form this afternoon. There is some concern that
cloud cover from this morning`s showers and storms will limit
destabilization this afternoon. Having said that, models have
remained consistent with the severe weather threat. The Severe
Thunderstorm Watch will remain in place until 7PM this evening.
Main threats will be scattered large hail and isolated very
large hail up to 2 inches in diameter. Wind gusts up to 70 mph
will also be possible. Localized flooding is also possible and a
Flood Watch remains in effect for much of eastern Utah and western
Colorado.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Thunderstorms become more scattered in coverage with a
significantly reduced threat for heavy rain or severe storms.
Afternoon/evening thunderstorms, more isolated in coverage, can be
expected Sunday through Tuesday. Storm coverage increases again
for the latter part of the coming week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected today or tonight, however
spotters are encouraged to report excessive wind or any observed
wind related damage to the National Weather Service in Grand
Junction.
