FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
SPREAD FROM THE MOUNTAINS NEAR THE WYOMING BORDER INTO THE CENTRAL
COLORADO MOUNTAINS BY THIS AFTERNOON. ON THE PLAINS ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED, MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE
MOST OF THE STORMS WILL PRODUCE ONLY LIGHT RAIN AND WIND GUSTS
TO 35 MPH, THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON IN AREAS EAST OF STERLING AND AKRON. IN THIS AREA
THERE WILL BE MORE MOISTURE AND A FAVORABLE WIND STRUCTURE FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS IN THE NORTHEAST
CORNER OF COLORADO WILL BE HAIL TO AROUND AN INCH IN DIAMETER.
HOWEVER, DAMAGING WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE, AND THERE IS A LOW
THREAT OF TORNADOS AS WELL. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL END FROM
WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING AS DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA.
FOR MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE
ACROSS NORTHERN COLORADO LATE MONDAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND FAR EASTERN PLAINS.
DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK. SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY OR TONIGHT.
A Graphical Nowcast also is in effect.
