This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Winds will gradually decrease tonight except across the higher
peaks and east facing slopes of the southeast mountains where
localized gusts up to 50 mph will be possible at times. Snow showers
will gradually diminish across the central mountains with local
accumulations of an additional inch possible across the higher
peaks and passes.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Meteorological critical fire weather conditions are expected over
portions of the area each afternoon into next week. Highest chances
for critical conditions will be over the San Luis Valley, as well as
gap flow areas along I-25, through Saturday. On Sunday, winds
increase over the plains and will spread critical conditions east.
However, fuels at this time appear too green to warrant any
highlights, based on recent heavy rainfall.

Afternoon and evening showers, with a few thunderstorms, will be
possible each afternoon through Saturday. Best chances will be over
the Central Mountains, with lightning, small hail, and gusty outflow
winds as the main impact concerns.

An incoming low pressure system is expected to bring wetter and more
unsettled weather to the higher terrain, starting late Sunday and
moving into next week. As of now, the plains appear to stay hot,
generally dry, and windy through at least Monday, with more
uncertainty in the forecast as we move later in the week.


.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed the rest of tonight.
