Severe Thunderstorms Possible through Tonight

Today's Severe Storms

High Fire Danger Continues

A volatile set up for severe thunderstorms will be in place across southeast CO late this afternoon through the overnight hours with repeated rounds of thunderstorms possible. Very large hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado or two will be the primary risks. Flash flooding will become an increased possibility into tonight, especially if storms impact urban areas or train over the same areas. #cowx

Two waves of storms are possible today. The first wave will be for the eastern plains in the afternoon. These severe storms could create dangerous winds up to 70mph and large hail. The second wave could be closer to the I-25 corridor in the late afternoon and evening. Storms could also produce dangerous winds and even larger, tennis ball sized hail. Pay attention to updated forecasts and weather hazards through the day! #cowx

High Fire Danger is predicted for portions of the mountainous areas today due to gusty winds and continued, very dry conditions. Please use caution and avoid fire starts. A single spark can cause a wildfire. Obey fire restrictions and do your part! #cowx #firewx
