WASHINGTON COUNTY HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

 This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado.  .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight  Scattered thunderstorms will develop over the mountains early this afternoon and push east across the plains late this afternoon and evening. Some of the storms may become severe across the I-25 Corridor and plains, with the main risk along and north of a line from Denver to Akron. Wind gusts to 60 mph and large hail will be the main threats. The stronger storms will also produce very heavy rain, although the faster motion of storms today should limit the threat of flash flooding.  .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday  Storm chances are expected to gradually decrease through this weekend, as a drier airmass spreads back across the region. Temperatures are expected to return to normal summer heat by this weekend, and then warm to above normal levels for the first half of next week.  .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...  Spotter activation is not anticipated today or tonight. However, any reports of damaging winds, hail, or heavy rain will be appreciated.
