Hazardous Weather Outlook For EASTERN KIOWA County,CO

412 AM MDT Fri Mar 29 2024

 DAY ONE  Today and Tonight

Scattered snow showers are expected over the mountains throughout 
today, especially over the central mountains. Showers will decrease 
in coverage during the overnight hours, with isolated showers 
remaining over the central mountains. Snow accumulations of 3 to 8 
inches are expected, which could cause snow covered roads along 
mountain passes.

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across Baca and eastern 
Las Animas Counties today. Conditions will support easy fire 
ignition and spread. Near to spotty critical fire weather conditions 
are expected elsewhere in gap flow prone areas and the rest of the 
plains. 

 DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN  Saturday through Thursday

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across portions of the 
eastern plains both Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with Sunday being 
much more widespread. 

Mountain snow will pick up Sunday through at least Tuesday. While 
some uncertainty exists with the incoming system, precipitation is 
expected across most of the area, with a wintry mix over the 
plains/mountains interface and more rain over our far eastern 
counties.
