This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Colorado, southwest
Colorado, west central Colorado, east central Utah, northeast Utah
and southeast Utah.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Areas of dense fog have developed across the lower valleys of eastern
Utah and western Colorado this morning, with visibilities of a
quarter mile or less. Fog is expected to lift by mid-morning, with a
warm and quiet day on tap for the region. Fog and low stratus may
redevelop tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Weather conditions will stay quiet this weekend, with some flurries
in the mountains and above normal temperatures. Active weather is
expected to return Sunday night. A series of disturbances could keep
unsettled conditions around through the week, but forecast
confidence in specifics is low. There is an increasing likelihood of
much colder, more seasonable temperatures returning late week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
