.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF NORTHEAST COLORADO
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MORNING CLOUDS AND ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
PLAINS WILL GIVE WAY TO MORE SUNSHINE BY LATE THIS MORNING.
SUNSHINE...ALONG WITH A RELATIVELY MOIST AIRMASS...WILL COMBINE TO
PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND EAST OF THE FRONT RANGE
MOUNTAINS TODAY.  THE STORMS ARE FIRST EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE
FOOTHILLS BY 2 PM AND THEN SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND STRONG WIND
SHEAR IN THE ATMOSPHERE WILL PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW SEVERE
STORMS.  VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WILL
BE THE PRIMARY THREATS.  THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDES THE
FRONT RANGE METRO AREAS INCLUDING DENVER...BOULDER...FORT COLLINS...
AND LOVELAND.

MUCH DRIER AIR WILL PREVAIL OVER JACKSON AND GRAND COUNTIES WHERE NO
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY.

..SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED AFTER 2 PM TODAY.
