Isolated thunderstorms are forecast to develop across the central

and far eastern plains by mid to late afternoon. The main threats

mph, hail up to one half inch in diameter and cloud to ground

1 to 3 inches of new snow will be possible across the central
mountains this afternoon and evening, with the highest amounts
expected to fall across the higher elevations of Lake County.

Critical fire weather conditions will develop across the San Luis
Valley and portions of the southeast plains today between noon and
9 PM due to low humidity values and gusty afternoon winds. Please
avoid all outdoor activities that could start a fire.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Critical fire weather conditions will remain possible across the

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to
