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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Dangerously cold temperatures are expected early this morning across
our plains. Readings of -20F have been observed early this morning,
and are expected to continue through 8 AM. Please dress in layers
and limit your time outdoors as much as possible this morning!
Frostbite can develop in less than 30 minutes in these conditions.

High fire danger is likely across the San Luis Valley today, due to
gusty southwest winds and low relative humidity values. Please avoid
activities that could start a fire!

A few days worth of beneficial snowfall begins over the San Juans,
La Garitas, and eastern Sawatch Mountains this afternoon and this
evening, spreading eastward across the high country throughout the
overnight hours. Snowfall rates pick up dramatically after sunset,
leading to heavy blowing snow and dangerous travel conditions across
our mountains. Wolf Creek Pass in particular will likely be
difficult to impossible tonight into tomorrow morning due to heavy
blowing snow. Winds could gust in excess of 65 mph at times over
mountain passes. Please use extreme caution if you must travel
through the high country tonight, and be sure to prepare an
emergency kit!

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Heavy wind driven snow will continue across the mountains through
Saturday with the heaviest snow falling across the eastern San
Juan through Friday. Total snowfall amounts by Saturday evening will
range from 1 to 2 feet across the southwest mountains with
locally higher amounts across the southwest and west facing
slopes. Around a foot of snow will be possible across the higher
elevations of the Sawatch range, La Garita mountains, and crest of
the Sangre De Cristo mountains. Between 4 and 10 inches will fall
across the lower elevations of the western and central mountains
as well as the west facing slopes and passes of the Sangre De
Cristo mountains. Blowing and drifting snow will create poor
visibilities and dangerous travel conditions, especially Friday.

Damaging wind gusts up to 65 mph will be possible across the
southern I-25 corridor from Colorado City south to near Raton
Pass late Friday night through Saturday afternoon. This will lead
to hazardous conditions for high profile vehicles.

Light snow will be possible off and on across the southeast
plains Saturday night through Sunday night. Up to an inch or two
of accumulation will be possible.

The next storm system may bring more cold and light snow to the
region Tuesday and Wednesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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