.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS AND PALMER DIVIDE AFTER 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON
...GRADUALLY SPREADING INTO THE ADJACENT PLAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

THE MAIN THREAT ALONG THE FOOTHILLS AND URBAN CORRIDOR THIS
AFTERNOON MAY AGAIN BE FLASH FLOODING...IF ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP OVER AREAS ALREADY SATURATED BY SUNDAY'S HEAVY RAINFALL.
THE STORMS TODAY HOWEVER...ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE STATIONARY AS THE
FLOW ALOFT IS FORECAST TO INCREASE.

THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL
LIKELY BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE PALMER DIVIDE...PRIMARILY EASTERN
SECTIONS OF ADAMS...ARAPAHOE AND ELBERT COUNTIES AS WELL AS LINCOLN
COUNTY. THIS IS WHERE THE BEST COMBINATION OF MOISTURE AND WIND
SHEAR EXISTS...AS A BOUNDARY IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP AS A RESULT OF THE
DENVER CYCLONE.

THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TODAY WILL BE LARGE HAIL. A WEAK
TORNADO IS ALSO POSSIBLE ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED AFTER 1 PM TODAY.
