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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

There is a low risk of a severe thunderstorms this afternoon
across eastern Kiowa County after 2 PM. Any storms that do develop
could become rapidly severe, with large hail in excess of 1 inch
in diameter and strong winds over 60 mph. If a storm or two can
develop, it will quickly move northeast, exiting the forecast
area by 4 PM.

Strong southwest winds gusting to 30 to 50 mph through this
afternoon will produce widespread critical fire weather
conditions across much of the eastern plains as well as portions
of the San Luis Valley. As has been noted this past week, no fire
weather highlights are anticipated at this time due to fuels still
going through green-up.

The strong winds could also produce areas of blowing dust across
the San Luis Valley through the afternoon hours. Be prepared for
rapidly changing visibility on area highways, especially this
afternoon.

Snow will fall along Continental Divide, lasting through Monday
morning. 4 to 8 inches of new snow can be expected across the
higher peaks, with areas of blowing and drifting snow anticipated.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected
across the area from Monday into Monday night, before precipitation
tapers off Tuesday morning. Gusty winds to 50 mph, lightning and
small hail will be the main storm threats, with some snow possible
above 12000 feet.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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

This hazardous weather outlook is for extreme southwest Nebraska...
northwest Kansas and east central Colorado.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

Severe storms are forecast for this afternoon and evening, mainly
between 3 PM and 8 PM MDT. While the majority of the area has a
chance for severe storms, locales along and north of Interstate 70
are favored. Very large hail, damaging wind gusts and a few
tornadoes are possible. These storms could lead to enhanced danger
for those who are celebrating graduations outside.

Strong southwest winds will develop behind the dryline this
afternoon, mainly along and south of Interstate 70 where sustained
winds at 30 to 40 mph may gust up to 55 mph. Wind of this magnitude
may create difficult travel conditions, especially for high profile
vehicles. Strong winds and exceptionally dry conditions will also
foster a very high grassland fire danger.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

A few severe storms are possible Monday afternoon and evening,
mainly east of Highway 83.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Reports of severe weather are appreciated today!
