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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms will develop over the higher terrain of
northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado this afternoon with
coverage less than previous days. Gusty winds will be the main
threat, though frequent lightning and brief heavy rain will still
be possible. Activity will diminish after sunset or shortly after.
Localized red flag conditions will be possible this afternoon due
to increased winds and low humidities, though fuels are not
critical.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Showers and thunderstorms are possible each afternoon and evening
through early next week over the Uinta Mountains and along the
Divide in Colorado through Tuesday. Beginning Wednesday, showers
and thunderstorms will spread west from the Divide, becoming
widely scattered across eastern Utah and Western Colorado by
Friday. Rivers and creeks will continue to run high through early
June due to snowmelt for much of the area. Localized red flag
conditions will be possible each afternoon through Wednesday due
to increased winds and low humidities, though fuels are not
critical.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
