Colorado weather: Severe storms continue with up to tennis-ball-sized hail ...Middle East

Severe thunderstorms will continue Thursday across Colorado’s Eastern Plains, bringing up to tennis-ball-sized hail and damaging winds, according to the National Weather Service.

The strongest chance for severe weather will be between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday in southeastern Colorado, forecasters said. There will also be a low risk of tornadoes during that time, mostly along the Colorado-Kansas border.

Tennis-ball-sized hail, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, was recorded Wednesday near Matheson in Elbert County, according to NWS records. Hail about 1 3/4 inches in diameter, the size of a golf ball, fell in Elbert, Limon and along the Colorado-Kansas border.

Any hail that’s larger than an inch across, about the size of a quarter, is considered “severe,” according to meteorologists.

Forecasters expect hail of that size to return Thursday afternoon across the Eastern Plains.

Strong winds up to 65 mph will also buffet eastern Colorado, forecasters said. Non-tornado winds above 50 mph are classified as “damaging” by NWS meteorologists.

Rain showers are forecast for Denver between noon and 3 p.m. Thursday, with thunderstorms developing later in the afternoon and lasting through midnight, according to NWS forecasters. It’s unlikely the metro area will see the same level of hail and wind as the Eastern Plains.
