WASHINGTON COUNTY HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

  This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado.  .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight  Warmer and drier conditions are expected today with less shower/storm coverage. Isolated to scattered showers and storms are still expected, mainly along the Front Range mountains, foothills, and Palmer Divide. A few stronger storms may develop where greater instability and shear is expected, along our eastern most counties.   .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday   We will see a steady increase in moisture starting Monday, with increasing afternoon shower and storm coverage each day across the forecast area. Temperatures will remain in the 90s across the plains through the first half of the week, with a very slight cool down by mid-week. Moisture will peak Wednesday, as PWAT values increase to between 120% to 160% of normal, which would support heavier rainfall chances. Another warming trend starts Friday, with temperatures in the upper 90s along the urban corridor and lower elevations by Saturday.   .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...  Spotter activation will not be needed today or tonight.
