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 forecast for this afternoon and
evening along the Continental Divide, east into the Pikes Peak
Region. A couple of storms could become strong to severe, mainly
across the Pikes Peak Region, with hail near 1 inch in diameter and
wind gusts 50 to 60 mph. Torrential rainfall will be possible
across the lower elevations of the Pikes Peak region which will
have the potential to cause flash flooding. The greatest threat
for impactful weather in the Pikes Peak region will be between 4
pm and 7 pm today. Thunderstorms will track southeast off the
Palmer Divide this evening, and weaken through midnight.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday
Saturday...showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the
higher terrain, into the Interstate 25 corridor. A few storms could
become strong to severe, especially across the higher terrain of
the southern mountains, the Wet Mountain valley region, Teller
county and the higher elevations of El Paso county. Large hail,
wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and locally heavy rainfall will be
possible with stronger storms. An isolated mountain or high valley
tornado can not be ruled out.
Monsoon moisture will continue to increase on Sunday and into next
week. Moderate to heavy rainfall will be possible over the
all of the region Sunday through next week. Medium range computer
guidance is indicating one to three inches of rain will be
possible over a large portion of the area into next week, and this
will have the potential to produce flooding over the region.
Additionally, some strong to severe storms will be possible each
afternoon, mostly over the eastern plains and I-25 corridor,
towards the middle of next week.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely, mainly for the greater Pikes Peak region later this
