[CoARES-D10] WX Outlook

[Mike Hickerson]

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS THIS AFTERNOON...THEN GRADUALLY
SPREAD ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

DUE TO AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE LEVELS AND VERY SLOW MOVEMENT OF
STORMS....HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. THERE MAY BE AN
ISOLATED SEVERE STORM WITH MARGINAL LARGE HAIL DUE TO THE INCREASING
INSTABILITY OF THE ATMOSPHERE. STORMS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH
OVERNIGHT.

A WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS EASTERN
COLORADO THIS MORNING WHICH IS HELPING TO REPLENISH MOISTURE IN THE
LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND ALSO RESULT IN SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
WITH A SERIES OF WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEMS PASSING THROUGH THE AREA. LOOK
FOR AN INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING THE TWO DAY
PERIOD...WITH SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL. A FEW LATE DAY STORMS ON THE PLAINS MAY ALSO BECOME
SEVERE...PARTICULARLY NEAR THE EASTERN BORDER OF THE STATE ON
THURSDAY. OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...DRIER AND
WARMER CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO THE AREA...DECREASING THE CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE PERIOD.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT.
