become severe with large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain.
Rainfall rates up to one and a half inches in less than an hour
may produce some localized flooding.

Showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rain will be likely
for both Saturday and Sunday as the weather environment becomes
more moist and unstable. A few storms may become severe Saturday
afternoon across the Palmer Ridge and eastern plains with large

There will be a higher 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 and localized flooding.
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.
