This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A couple severe thunderstorms will be possible over the northeast
plains late this afternoon through the evening. The main risk is
along and east of a line from Sterling to Akron, although there is
some risk as far west as Fort Morgan and eastern Weld County. The
main threat is large hail, but an isolated tornado or two is also
possible.

Scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms can be expected
along the I-25 Corridor this later this afternoon into tonight,
while snow showers become more widespread in the mountains. 2 to 5
inches of snow can be expected in the mountains by Friday
morning, with some slushy or snow covered roads mainly over the
higher mountain passes tonight.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

It will be cool and unsettled through Sunday, as precipitation is
expected to become widespread across northeast Colorado. There is
potential for moderate to heavy snow in the mountains, heaviest
late Friday night through midday Sunday. Travel into the high
country will likely be difficult, so be prepared to hazardous
travel this weekend. Across the plains, widespread rain showers
with some embedded thunderstorm can be expected on Saturday. Drier
and warmer weather will return early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be required over the northeast
plains after 2 pm this afternoon.
