This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected
today for areas north of Highway 50. Some storms may be strong to
severe, especially over the Palmer Divide, but also for portions
of Lake, Chaffee, Fremont, and Teller counties. The main risk with
stronger storms in these areas today will be damaging winds with
gusts in excess of 60 mph. One or two stronger storms may be
capable of producing 1 inch hail, especially over northern and
eastern El Paso County. New fire starts from dry lightning will
also be possible with storms today.
Widespread high fire danger is expected today, especially for
areas south of Highway 50, and for all of our eastern mountains.
Southwest winds with gusts of 30 to 40 mph are likely in these
areas today, along with humidity values in the low teens and
single digits. Please use extreme caution and take care not to
start a wildfire today.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday
High fire danger continues for our southern plains tomorrow,
mainly across Las Animas and Baca counties. Southwest winds
gusting 40 to 50 mph and single digit humidity values are likely
in these areas on Monday, which could lead to extreme fire
behavior for any new or existing fires.
Chances for showers and weak thunderstorms persist daily for
Monday through Friday, especially over and near the higher
terrain.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely over portions of the region.

Rolling Plains between 11 AM and 10 PM CDT Monday.
