This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight
Extreme fire danger is expected across much of southeast Colorado
today. Please avoid ALL activities that could spark a fire!! Any new
fire start could quickly become a very dangerous situation. Damaging
winds are also expected through this afternoon, especially for
the San Luis Valley and the southern Interstate 25 corridor.
Damaging winds could lead to dangerous travel conditions on area
roadways with hazardous crosswinds and reduced visibilities in
blowing dust. Light and high profile vehicles will be most at risk
in crosswinds on north-south oriented roadways. Light snow begins
over the central mountains this evening, spreading into the
higher elevations of the Pikes Peak region late tonight.
Accumulations will be light, generally less than two inches,
though roads could become slick and snow covered after sunset in
both locations.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday
Much cooler and unsettled weather can be expected across the
region Friday and Saturday, as a strong Spring storm system moves
across the Rockies. Precipitation will increase in coverage and
intensity through the day on Friday, with the focus of heavier
precipitation then shifting to the southern tier late Friday night
into Saturday morning, before winding down from northwest to
southeast through the day Saturday.
Heavy, wet snowfall is expected across much of the higher terrain
across southern Colorado, with 8 to 14 inches of snow possible
across the eastern San Juan mountains into the Sangre de Cristo
and Wet mountains by Saturday evening. Further north, along the
Continental Divide into the Central mountains and Teller County,
snowfall of 4 to 9 inches will be possible, with accumulations of
2 to 6 inches possible across the rest of the high mountain
valleys into portions of the I-25 Corridor. We also can`t rule
out some light snow accumulations, mainly on grassy areas, across
the southeast Plains. Please stay tuned to the weather forecast,
especially if you have travel plans across the higher terrain for
the upcoming Easter weekend.
Warmer and drier weather remains in the offing for Sunday into early
next week.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.

showers over the mountains Sunday through Wednesday, with some
over the plains Tuesday and Wednesday.
