403 AM MDT Mon Mar 31 2025

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Patchy fog will impact El Paso County this morning through 9 AM.
Visibility down to 1 mile or less could pose a hazard during the
morning commute.

A few light snow showers will be possible over the Central Mountains
through this afternoon with little to no snow accumulations
expected.  Snow will increase tonight along the Continental Divide.
Areas of the Central Mountains could see 2 to 5 inches by morning,
while areas of the San Juan Range see 1 to 3 inches.

High fire danger due to strong winds and low humidity will spread
from the San Luis Valley, east into the Plains this afternoon and
evening.  Wind gusts 40 to 50 mph are possible, along with areas of
blowing dust.  If a fire should start, the strong winds will likely
cause rapid growth.

There is a low potential for downslope winds after 3 AM tonight
along the lee slopes of the Rampart Range, and the southern Sangre
de Cristo Mountains.  Gusts near 50 mph are possible, with a locally
higher gusts possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Tuesday brings the first of many active days of weather. Snow will
expand across the higher terrain during the day, especially across
the central mountains, with 4 to 10 inches of snowfall by Wednesday
morning. This could cause slick roads and difficult travel along
mountain roads and passes.

Winds will also be strong Tuesday, with widespread 40-50 mph wind
gusts expected, and possibly up to 65 mph, particularly within the
San Luis Valley. Travel could be difficult along north-south
orientated roads for high profile and light weight vehicles.

In addition, critical fire weather conditions are expected across
the plains Tuesday, given the strong winds and humidity values
between 10-15 percent.

For the rest of the week and through the weekend, active weather
continues, with precipitation chances remains elevated, especially
for the mountains.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be likely over portions of the region.
