There were a number of storms over the mountains Tuesday and just a few over the metro areas and plains, but those that did pop up were strong enough to produce a landspout tornado, funnel clouds, and larger hail.

Mark Oster spotted a landspout tornado not far from Platteville.

A little landspout, probably the same as the previous just a different view,  near Firestone from Chad Flaugher.

Cindy Lyons captured this from CR 22 near CR41 looking northeast.

Down in/near Aurora:

And Jacqui Snow had near quarter size hail in Parker.

That's pretty active for just having a few storms around.

Like yesterday, today's threat for severe weather - overall - is low. Some scattered storms floating through to watch out for. Here's the timeline for today through the next couple of days.

To serve as a rough estimate, +/- an hour or so, here are images to show the most likely times and locations for today's storms.

As you know, scattered storms continue through the workweek with mild temperatures - slightly below average - in the 70s. The next cool/rainy day is potentially this Sunday, but we will address that in the future.
