This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are forecast to
develop and impact most of southern Colorado today. Thunderstorms
will initiate across the higher terrain, and spread eastward
across the Plains by late afternoon into the evening.
Thunderstorms will be efficient rain producers, and flash
flooding, especially on area burn scars, will remain possible. A
Flash Flood Watch remain in effect for Aspen Acres. As storm
spread east into the Plains, a few may become strong to severe,
with hail to one inch in diameter and wind gusts in excess of 60
mph. Areas across the Palmer Divide, and south off the Raton Mesa
will see the greatest chances (40-60%) for severe storms.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday
Thunderstorms will be possible across southern Colorado Sunday and
Monday. Locally heavy rainfall will accompany thunderstorms, with
a continued flash flood risk, especially on area burn scars. As
storms move into the Plains, a couple may become strong to severe
with hail near 1 inch in diameter and wind gusts near 60 mph. The
greatest risk appears on Sunday, with a more limited potential for
severe storms on Monday.
High pressure builds across the west for mid to late week with
drier and hotter temperatures. More isolated shower and
thunderstorm activity is possible Tuesday through Friday, with
lightning and outflow wind gusts the main storm risks.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
