This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Critical Fire Weather conditions will return to southern portions
of the southeast Colorado Plains and San Luis Valley today. Gusty
winds, low humidity and dry fuels will lead to the possibility of
rapid rates of fire spread.
Snow will spread into the Continental Divide and Pikes Peak
region today with accumulations of 2 to 5 inches falling primarily
during the afternoon hours. This may cause slick and snow covered
roads across the mountains, with slushy conditions during the
intense snowfall rates across the Palmer Divide. Snow will end
this evening.
A strong cold front will bring cooler conditions with higher
humidity to the remainder of southern Colorado today. North winds
