YUMA COUNTY HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

 This hazardous weather outlook is for extreme southwest Nebraska... northwest Kansas and east central Colorado.  .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...  Severe storms are forecast for this afternoon and evening across the entire Tri-State area. Thunderstorms are expected to develop as early as 11 AM MT in areas generally north of Interstate 70 and continue through the afternoon, with another round of storms moving into eastern Colorado by 6 PM and continuing through this evening. A few supercells will be possible this afternoon and early evening, capable of producing hail golf ball size or larger, damaging wind gusts of 60 mph or higher, blowing dust, and a tornado or two. Impacts include but are not limited to wind driven hail which can damage windows and roofs and quickly developing tornadoes which will shorten the time you have to seek shelter.  .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...  Severe storms are also possible Tuesday afternoon and evening. Scattered storms are expected by mid afternoon and continuing through early evening. The main hazard on Tuesday will be damaging wind gusts of up to 75 mph. Winds of this magnitude may produce blowing dust and dust storms which can lower visibility and cause hazardous driving conditions.  Critical fire weather conditions are possible Tuesday afternoon and early evening with a Fire Weather Watch in effect for northeast Colorado and adjacent counties of northwest Kansas. Low humidity, gusty southwest winds and dry fuels will combine to produce dangerous and unpredictable fire weather behavior. Any fires that develop may rapidly grow and spread out of control.  .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...  Spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions.
