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



Critical fire weather conditions will exist this afternoon
through early evening across the lower elevations (below 7500
feet) of the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountains, and within the
Wet Mountain Valley.

Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible later this afternoon
across portions of the far eastern plains, with storms potentially
producing hail up to 2 inches in diameter, gusty outflow winds
over 60 mph and frequent lightning. Areas most likely for
thunderstorm development will be over Bent, Prowers, and Kiowa
counties. There could also be a thunderstorm or two over the
Palmer Divide and Pikes Peak region, with nickel size hail, gusty
winds to 50 mph and cloud to ground lightning. Snow showers will
increase this afternoon and evening over the higher terrain,
mainly in the central and southwest mountains, and the higher
peaks above 10000 feet could see a few inches of accumulation
through tonight.



There will be an uptick in thunderstorm activity on Tuesday with
some high elevation snow, followed by an overall drier pattern for
southeast Colorado from Wednesday through Sunday. Only light
accumulations are anticipated across the highest elevations,
though the peaks of the central mountains may see 3 to 5 inches of
new snow through Tuesday evening.

Enhanced fire danger is expected for portions of the area on
Thursday.
