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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Snow increases in coverage and intensity across the higher terrain
through the day, with scattered showers, and a few possible claps
of thunder, spread across the southeast plains late this afternoon
and evening. Precipitation winds down and end from west to east into
early Saturday morning. Up to a foot of snow is possible across the
higher peaks of the eastern San Juan mountains, where hazardous travel
conditions can be expected through out the day. The quick movement
of this passing system will limit snowfall, with 2 to 4 inches of snow
possible across the rest of the higher terrain, and up to 2 inches across
the high mountain valleys. Further east across the i-25 Corridor into
the southeast plains, can`t rule out a quick inch of snow, with the
potential for quickly deteriorating conditions, as these convective
showers roll across the region.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Upper level ridging building across the Rockies early next week will
help boost temperatures to well above seasonal levels, with increasing
westerly flow also bringing back the potential for critical fire weather
into the middle of next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
