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



Another round of rain and snow showers with embedded thunderstorms
will spread across southern Colorado. Heavy snow will impact the
mountains north of highway 50 with the heaviest snow impacting
Chaffee and Lake counties. An additional 4 to 8 inches will be
possible above 9000 with the focus shifting south of Cottonwood Pass
after 6 AM.

A brief round of moderate to heavy snow will spread into Teller and
northern Fremont counties later this morning with 4 to 8 inches of
accumulation possible above 9000 feet and quick slushy accumulations
of up to 4 inches possible for the lower elevations down to 8000
feet. Snow levels will rise this afternoon which should limit any
travel impacts to the morning hours as road surfaces melt off.

Across the remainder of the area, local snow accumulations of up to
4 inches will be possible across the higher mountains with another
round of showers and thunderstorms across most of the lower
elevations. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible
across the southeast plains with hail up to quarter size in diameter
and wind gusts to 60 mph possible across Kiowa, Bent, Prowers and
Baca counties. Although the risk is low, a brief weak landspout
tornado can not be ruled out, especially across Baca and Prowers
counties this afternoon.

Showers and thunderstorms will come to an end this evening.



Showers will increase in coverage both Monday and Tuesday. Snow is
expected along the mountains, with rain showers and thunderstorms
expected elsewhere. The greatest hazard with any thunderstorms will
be lightning and gusty winds.

Unsettled weather prevails during the midweek period Wednesday and
Thursday. More widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected for
the region. There is still some uncertainty in how much
precipitation will fall though.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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