Hazardous Weather Outlook May 11-17

From Chief Meteorologist Steve Hamilton: A Rainy Start To The Week, Then Nice...
The weather pattern has been pretty interesting over the last couple of days. We have very warm air over the southwestern states, with cooler conditions in the plains and up into the Great Lakes and northeast. On Monday, a stationary front will form, stretching from the Northern Rockies down through Colorado and then into the Southern Plains. With the temperature disparity, and moist air in the area, we'll have a good chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms for the foothills. The front will slide eastward Tuesday, and we'll be on the warm side of it, with temperatures getting a boost.

A storm system will move across the state. A mix of rain showers, snow showers and thunderstorms will occur in the mountains.

Much cooler temperatures will occur over the far northeast plains, with a mix of drizzle and light rain showers. Patchy fog will develop over the northeast plains late tonight.

In the mountains this afternoon and evening, a few stronger storms may produce frequent cloud to ground lightning, gusty outflow winds to 50 mph and small hail. Over the mountains and higher mountain passes, snow may occur at times, with 2 to 5 inches possible above 11 thousand feet.
