This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Snow showers will continue across the southwest mountains early this
morning, then spread across all of the higher terrain by late
morning. Total new snow accumulations are forecast to be 5 to 7
inches for the southwest mountains, 4 to 6 inches for the peaks of
the central mountains and the Pikes Peak region, and up to 3 inches
for the remainder of the higher terrain. The Palmer Divide and
Monument Hill may receive 2 to 4 inches of new snow through the day
today, but it will likely be a very wet and slushy snowfall.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible across the far
eastern plains this afternoon, beginning around noon and lasting
until 8 or 9 PM this evening. The main threat from any storms that
do develop will be small hail, wind gusts to 40 mph and cloud to
ground lightning. There is a slight chance that one or two of these
storms may become strong, producing dime-sized hail and wind gusts
up to 50 mph.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

For Friday and Saturday, a messy Spring storm system is expected.
Precipitation will increase Friday, with heavier snow starting to
develop late Friday and persist into Saturday morning for the
southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, southern I-25 corridor, and
Raton Mesa area. Roads will likely become slushy and slick Friday
night, and with the heavy and wet nature of the snow, along with
gusty winds, some strain to infrastructure and trees will be
possibe. Precipitation will start to clear out late Saturday.

Sunday and beyond, dry conditions are expected for most, with
isolated light snow showers possible along the mountains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely over portions of the region.
