Saturday was a significantly busy day of tracking severe thunderstorms over the Plains, Sunday was a bit quieter but the South Metro including Castle Rock got whacked around dinner time with flooding and hail. So, what's the 'skinny' on today's storms? Here's the where, when, and how bad... Where? This map will show the areas with highest probability of getting a storm today: When? This animation walks us through the next 18 hours to show approximate locations and times of the storms. How bad

Weather5280 warned you Thursday morning about damaging thunderstorm potential for the evening. Severe storms certainly delivered on that. Golf ball to baseball sized hail pelted the Denver metro after sunset Thursday night as powerful thunderstorms formed along a tongue of surface moisture that was drawn in throughout the day. This is likely one of the worst hail events to strike the Denver

Although isolated, some of us have been hit with thunderstorms for the past two days, and today brings additional chances for storms. There is a chance of damaging thunderstorms today, albeit that chance is highest east of I-25. The primary threats today will be wind and hail. Let's begin with a general outlook. The most probable areas for problematic weather will be the southeastern corner, by Lamar and La Junta, but that's not so say someone near Denver gets a bad one, too. Here's a timelin

We spoke to you yesterday on the severe weather threat expected over northeast Colorado yesterday afternoon and evening, you can read about it below: Colorado Weather: Severe weather including risk of tornadoes for parts of the stateSevere weather will increase across the state again today. Let’s look at the outlook area first for a general look at where the threat of damage is highest. Although much of the state can have a thunderstorm today, note the increased risk of severity east of DIA, fr

Yesterday's severe weather was focused over eastern and southeastern Colorado. Some locally heavy rain was observed along the northern urban corridor, but no severe storm warnings were issued. While a landspout tornado was observed north of Watkins, all storm-based warnings issued Thursday were focused over the southeastern part of the state which had a very active evening. Below is a look at the warnings issued Thursday by the NWS: And the landspout tornado east of Denver: > Landspout loo

An audible "oh, hail no!" from our readers this morning seeing there's a chance storms will again turn severe this afternoon. Thursday's storms once again delivered damaging hail to parts of the metro area and plains, and some storms that develop later today carry the same potential. Take a look at the hail that flattened my dad's garden in northwest Denver! He assures me in a few weeks no one will be able to tell, but hard to see – and so much lettuce lost! While Denver is not included in t

Large hail and tornadoes are possible in parts of Colorado today, including the metro areas, and the chance continues into the evening and overnight. We have a dynamic setup with a cold front moving in late today, which will act to combine plenty of warmth and plenty of humidity. Here are the overall chances for storms and locations. Of that area, there are increased risks from damaging thunderstorms as shown here. EDIT (11:00 AM) the following image is new as the threat has increased from wha

Flooding and accumulating hail hit Boulder, Colorado Monday, especially inconvenient for those trying to grab a bite for lunch. > This guy attempted to cycle through the flooded area… all while another car got stuck. Mind you, firefighters were on scene telling people to turn around. @KDVR @channel2kwgn @PinpointWX 🤷🏼‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/Vq

'Tis the season for daily thunderstorms, as Denver and Colorado sit in a wet pattern for the time being. These daily storms add to the threat of flooding and will also bring some hail (at this time, small hail without a significant threat for now) Let's start out setting the stage with an hourly forecast through Wednesday for Denver. For Monday, thunderstorms are expected to start out on the mountains then head onto the Front Range and plains through the evening. This animation will show you t

For Denver and much of northeastern Colorado there is a heightened risk for damaging thunderstorms today, included will be threats from tornadoes, hail, and wind. Daniel Hall - Loveland hail Monday 5/9/2023Last night was active north and northeast of the city where there were multiple hail reports from overnight; egg and golf ball sized hail reported near Longmont and Erie. > Longmont 11pm @MattMakens pic.twitter.com/WEhFQqamEg [https://t.c

As we head into the first weekend of June, we should be mindful of the severe weather chances that cover both days. As you've noticed, temperatures have warmed the past few days, and Denver has returned to the 70s which last this weekend. The warmth is despite a cold front, a weak one, to move through Saturday that will act as a focal point for some thunderstorms throughout the weekend. Saturday Cold front grazes the area and will trigger and steer a few thunderstorms from midday through the

A storm system will strengthen while it moves through the region Friday. This system will spark several thunderstorms, and the environment will provide lots of energy for thunderstorms to be potentially damaging. The SPC outlook shows enhanced risk areas in Nebraska and Texas, and slight risk areas from the Dakotas and Iowa south into Texas. Here is a snapshot of the 3km NAM late Friday afternoon showing multiple discrete thunderstorms in an environment where damaging hail, wind, and tornadoe

From snow one weekend... to summer heat the next... to the severe weather we saw yesterday. It's been quite a stretch for weather across the Front Range and eastern Colorado. Things set up just as expected yesterday, unfortunately that equated to a damaging hail storm for much of the metro area – especially on Denver's west and north side. Hail the size of golf balls rained down under a large severe thunderstorm around 3pm on Monday. Hundreds of cars [http://www.denverpost.com/2017/05/09/denver

The Storm Prediction Center continues to outline extreme northeastern Colorado for potential severe weather Wednesday. This threat is slight, but is the first of the season for the state. The most likely risk will be damaging hail, but there is potential for spot-fires from lightning and and damaging wind as well. The rest of north central Colorado could have thunderstorms, but the likelihood of anything damaging is far less likely. You can clearly see the comma shape to the slight risk area
