THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.
DAY ONE
TODAY AND TONIGHT
GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE HAZARDS ACROSS
SOUTHEAST COLORADO TODAY AND TONIGHT. OVER THE MOUNTAINS, PERIODS OF
MODERATE SNOW AND STRONG WINDS WILL CAUSE TRAVEL IMPACTS AND REDUCED
VISIBILITY. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE HEAVIEST OVER THE EASTERN SAN
JUANS, WITH AROUND 1-2 FEET, WHILE THE SAWATCH RANGE AND THE
SOUTHERN SANGRE DE CRISTOS SEE AROUND 4-7 INCHES. THE REST OF THE
HIGHER TERRAIN WILL SEE 1-3 INCHES, INCLUDING PIKES PEAK AND
ADJACENT AREAS.
OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS, GUSTY WINDS AND DRY SURFACE CONDITIONS WILL
RESULT IN WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS, STARTING
AROUND MIDDAY AND LASTING INTO THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR THE RAPID GROWTH AND INTENSIFICATION OF ANY FIRES.
WINDS WILL INCREASE LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY AHEAD OF AN
INCOMING SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY OVER OUR SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND THE
ADJACENT AREAS IN HUERFANO AND LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES.

PORTIONS OF HUERFANO AND LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES, WITH GUSTS UP TO
AROUND 85 MPH FOR THE SANGRES AND UP TO AROUND 75 MPH FOR HUERFANO

EARLY FRIDAY, WITH THE HEAVIEST SNOW REMAINING ALONG THE SAN JUAN
MOUNTAINS. TRAVEL COULD BE DIFFICULT ALONG MOUNTAIN PASSES AND
