Washington County Hazardous Weather Outlook

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central
Colorado.

.DAY ONE…Today and Tonight

Patchy fog will continue to develop over the northeast plains
through the early morning hours. Fog could become locally dense in
a few locales through 8 am.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop over the northeast
plains this afternoon before diminishing this evening. A few
storms could become severe today with large hail, damaging winds
and heavy rain. Rainfall rates up to 2 inches in less than an hour
may lead to localized flooding. Thunderstorm coverage will be more
isolated today over the mountains and adjacent plains as drier and
warmer air have worked it ways into the area. Temperatures will
warm back into the lower 90s across the plains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Saturday through Thursday

Showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rain will be likely
for both Saturday and Sunday as the weather environment remains
moist and unstable. A few storms may become severe Saturday
afternoon across the Palmer Ridge and far eastern plains with
gusty storms likely along the Front Range.

There will be a better chance for severe thunderstorms across the
Palmer Ridge and eastern plains for Sunday afternoon and evening.
All thunderstorms across northeast Colorado Sunday will carry the
potential for heavy rainfall.

A drier and more stable pattern will develop across the region
for Monday into Tuesday. Scattered gusty thunderstorms coverage
can be expected, however severe weather is not expected either
day.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT…

Spotter activation may be needed across the northeast plains after
2 pm.
