This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Colorado, southwest
Colorado, west central Colorado, east central Utah, northeast Utah
and southeast Utah.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

A weak disturbance will cause scattered showers and a few
thunderstorms to fire this afternoon. Northeast Utah and Northwest
Colorado will have the best chances to see this convection. Gusty
outflow winds will be the main concern.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

Gusty surface winds of 25 to 35 mph, if not higher at times, are
expected each afternoon from Friday through the weekend. Low
afternoon relative humidities and dry fuels will allow critical fire
weather conditions to occur Friday afternoon. Red Flag Warnings have
been issued for those fire zones where these conditions will be met.
Similar conditions are possible Saturday. Fire Weather Watches have
been issued to account for this possibility.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected today or tonight, however
spotters are encouraged to report excessive wind or any observed
wind related damage to the National Weather Service in Grand
Junction
