THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL
COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IN THE MOUNTAINS
AND THEN MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PORTIONS OF THE
FRONT RANGE URBAN CORRIDOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING
HOURS.  THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAIN...SMALL HAIL AND
GUSTY WINDS.  THE AIRMASS EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS WILL BE FAIRLY
STABLE SO THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW TODAY.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO WILL PRODUCE
LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW LEADING TO COOL TEMPERATURES AND WIDESPREAD
LOW CLOUDS THROUGH TONIGHT EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN UNSEASONABLY COOL AND MOIST ON SATURDAY
WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  THE COOL TEMPERATURES
WILL LIMIT INSTABILITY SO ONLY ONE OR TWO STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE
IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  THE MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS WILL BE
FLOODING CAUSED BY HEAVY RAIN FALLING ON ALREADY SATURATED GROUND.

FOR SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE AIRMASS BEGINS A WARMING AND
DRYING TREND SO LESS WIDESPREAD AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED.  THE THREAT OF ANY SEVERE WEATHER OR
FLOODING WILL BE ADDRESSED IN FUTURE UPDATES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
