Colorado, west central Colorado, east central Utah, northeast Utah
and southeast Utah.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms will develop
across the southern and central mountains with coverage more

excessive wind or observed wind related damage, and to relay rainfall
