This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Elevated to critical fire weather conditions will occur again
today, with the most critical combination of strong, gusty winds
and low humidity in and adjacent to the foothills from Boulder
southward through Jefferson and western Douglas Counties.

While the strongest winds are expected to push back into the
foothills, where peak gusts may still reach 50-60 mph, winds will
also be spreading east across the plains. The strongest winds in
the lower elevations will be west of I-25 where gusts will average
near 40 mph, and also over the plains north of Highway 34 where
gusts will be closer to 35 mph. Avoid any activity today that may
produce a spark and start a wildfire.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

A colder storm system with snow will arrive Thursday, with snow
lingering into Friday morning. Some accumulation is likely not
only for the mountains, but for the lower elevations as well. The
greatest chances of a few inches of accumulation will be in/near
the mountains and along southern portions of the I-25 Corridor and
Palmer Divide. Expect slick travel conditions by late Thursday
through the Friday morning commute. There will be lower chances of
snow and travel impacts over the northeast plains.

It will be turning progressively colder Thursday into Friday,
with high temperatures on Friday struggling to reach the freezing
mark over the plains.

A return to dry weather can then be expected for the weekend,
with a gradual moderation of temperatures.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
