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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across the higher
terrain, with the best chance for convection expected along the
Continental Divide through the evening. Main threats from any
storms will be wind gusts to 45 mph and cloud to ground
lightning, though any slow-moving storms that develop near the
Willow Fire will need to be closely monitored for flash flood
potential.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Moisture increases from west to east starting Tuesday, then moreso
for Wednesday into the weekend. This will bring a return of more
widespread afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms to the
mountains and southeast plains, especially for Wednesday through
Friday. The risk of flash flooding will increase on all area burn
scars during this period.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
