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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Snow showers continue throughout the day today, especially over the
southern I-25 corridor, the southern Sangres, and the Wet mountains,
where snowfall rates will be heaviest. These areas will see an
additional 4 to 8 inches of new snow through the rest of today,
along with potential travel impacts from wind driven snow on area
roadways. Please use caution if you must travel today, especially
over La Veta Pass and the Raton Mesa.

Temperatures and wind chills remain near and just below zero
throughout the daytime hours today, with the beginning of a 3 day
stretch of dangerously cold wind chills starting tonight. Wind
chills look to fall into the single digits to low teens below zero
across the plains tonight, with readings in the twenties and
thirties below zero over the majority of the high country. The
highest peaks of the central mountains will be the coldest, with
wind chills around 40F below zero tonight. At 18F below zero,
frostbite can set in on exposed skin in less than 30 minutes. At 25F
below zero, it takes than 15 minutes. Please take extra precautions
if you must be outside tonight!

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Bitter to dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills will
persist across much of southern Colorado through Tuesday morning.
Wind chill readings will remain in the single digits to negative
readings through the day time hours and drop into the negative
teens and negative 20s at night with wind chill readings as cold
as 50 below zero Tuesday night across the higher mountains. Frost
bite at some of these colder values could occur in as little as
10 minutes, and even at the warmer wind chill values could occur
in as little as 30 minutes. Please take precautions to shelter
people and animals from this extreme cold! The coldest readings
will occur Monday night and Tuesday.

Another round of light snow associated with a secondary arctic
cold front will spread in for Sunday night and Monday. This could
produce an additional 1 to 2 inches of snow in and near the
mountains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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