This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop over the southern
mountains by early afternoon and push out onto the plains this
afternoon and last well into the evening hours. Storms could become
modestly strong this afternoon, especially along and just east of
the mountains as this is where the best instability will be located.
One or two inches of snow will be possible across the highest
elevations of the central mountains, and across Pikes Peak.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected over the plains on
Thursday. The combination of sufficient instability, increasing
deep shear and a strong disturbance aloft moving towards the
region will allow for thunderstorm to initiate over the mountains
and to move over the plains during the afternoon and evening.
Given the moderate shear that will be in place, rotating supercell
thunderstorms will be possible, and damaging hail, winds to 60 to
70 mph and possibly an isolated tornado could occur.
For the remainder of the period, isolated showers and thunderstorms
will be possible during the afternoon and evening hours.
Temperatures will gradually increase through the period.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
