CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.
DAY ONE
TODAY AND TONIGHT
SNOW SHOWERS WILL OCCUR OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON
AND GOING INTO THE EVENING HOURS, WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OVER THE

JUAN AND SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS, AND UP TO 3 INCHES IN THE
SAWATCH RANGE.
THERE WILL BE INCREASING WINDS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING,
ALONG WITH LOWERING RH VALUES, WHICH WILL MAKE POSSIBLE SOME
AREAS OF NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THE SOUTHERN
SAN LUIS VALLEY, AND ALSO FOR AREAS ON THE PLAINS, MAINLY
SOUTHERN PUEBLO, HUERFANO, AND LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES.
SNOWFALL WILL TAPER OFF LATER TONIGHT FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH. ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS OF LESS
THAN AN INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
ACCUMULATING SNOW RETURNS TO THE MOUNTAINS ALONG THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT, WITH STRONG WINDS POTENTIALLY
PRODUCING AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. THE REMAINING
MOUNTAINS AND INTERIOR VALLEYS WILL SEE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS, WITH SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OVER THE HIGHER PEAKS OF
THE SANGRE DE CRISTO RANGES. ON THE PLAINS, WINDS WILL BECOME
STRONG TUESDAY AFTERNOON, WITH INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR MANY
LOCATIONS ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 25.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
