THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.
DAY ONE
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS TODAY, AS GUSTY WINDS AND LOW
HUMIDITY OVERSPREAD THE REGION. IN ADDITION, ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED HIGH BASED SHOWERS, ALONG WITH A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS, WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND SPREAD EAST
ONTO THE ADJACENT PLAINS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
HOURS. THESE HIGH BASED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
MORE VIRGA AND GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS OF 45 TO 55 MPH,
THAN ANY MEASURABLE RAIN. THESE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS COULD
EXACERBATE FIRE SUPPRESSION EFFORTS. PLEASE HEED ALL EVACUATION
ORDERS AND FIRE BANS, AND AVOID ANY ACTIVITIES WHICH COULD START
A WILDFIRE.
IN ADDITION, ONE OR TWO STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING EAST OF A DEVELOPING DRY
LINE ACROSS EASTERN LAS ANIMAS, BACA, BENT, PROWERS AND KIOWA
COUNTIES. DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH AND LARGE HAIL UP TO
1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER WILL BE THE PRIMARY STORM RISKS THROUGH
THE EVENING.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL RETURN WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS AND WILL BE LIKELY AGAIN FOR THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN COLORADO, AS TEMPERATURES
CLIMB BACK TO ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK ACROSS THE PLAINS. GUSTY
AFTERNOON WINDS WILL CAUSE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR FIRE SPREAD.
ONE OR TWO STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY
ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
POSSIBLE.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MAY INCREASE FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
A SOUTHERLY FETCH OF MOISTURE SPREADS INTO THE REGION. THIS MAY
BRING AN UPTICK IN WETTING RAINS AND SOME RELIEF FROM THE 100
DEGREE HEAT.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL
BE LIKELY OVER PORTIONS OF THE REGION.
