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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Moderate to heavy snow will taper off this morning along the
Continental Divide, becoming light from mid morning into early
afternoon. Snow will once again become heavy this afternoon and
overnight. The heaviest snowfall is expected over the San Juan
Range, where 1 to 3 feet are possible through Wednesday morning.
Around a foot of new snow is possible over the Central and Eastern
Mountains through Wednesday morning.

A few wind gusts to near 50 mph are possible along the lee slopes of
the Eastern Mountains, into the Interstate 25 corridor late tonight.

Near critical fire weather conditions are possible this afternoon
across portions of the Plains due to low humidity and gusty winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Moderate to heavy snow is expected to continue through Wednesday
night across the Continental Divide. Blowing snow could decrease
visibility and lead to dangerous travel conditions, especially
through mountain passes. Very strong winds, blowing dust, and high
fire danger are expected Wednesday across the Plains. Southwest
winds, gusting 50 to 60 mph, and possibly stronger, will combine
with humidity values near 15 percent to produce the dangerous fire
weather conditions. The strong winds may also produce blowing dust,
reducing visibility on area highways. Strong cross winds are
possible on north-south oriented highways.

Light to moderate snow is expected over the Mountains Friday into
early next week. The best chances for snow along the Eastern
Mountains and southern Interstate 25 corridor could be Saturday
night.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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