central...south central and southeast Colorado.



Isolated thunderstorms developing over the central mountains at
midday will spread across the Rampart Range, Palmer Divide and
far eastern plains by mid to late afternoon. The main threats from
any thunderstorms that develop will be gusty winds 40 to 45 mph,
hail up to one half inch in diameter and cloud to ground
lightning. One or two of the thunderstorms across the far eastern
plains, specifically across Kiowa, Bent and Prowers counties,
could become strong late this afternoon into this evening,
producing wind gusts up to 55 mph and hail the size of nickels.

1 to 3 inches of new snow will be possible across the central
mountains this afternoon and evening, with the greatest amounts
expected to fall across the higher elevations of Lake County.

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across the San Luis
Valley and portions of the southeast plains between noon and 9 PM
today due to low humidity values and gusty afternoon winds.
Please avoid all outdoor activities that could start a fire.



Critical fire weather conditions will remain possible across the
San Luis Valley through the rest of the work week, as well as into
early next week, with breezy afternoon winds expected across the
Valley.

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to
be possible across higher terrain and immediate adjacent plains
through the work week into the weekend.
