Thunderstorms will bring heavy rain and up to 2-inch hail to Colorado on Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Hail an inch in diameter or larger is considered “severe,” according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, which is part of the same federal agency as the weather service.
The plains in southeastern Colorado can expect damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph, 2-inch hail, heavy rain and a chance for tornadoes, according to a Hazardous Weather Outlook from the weather service’s Pueblo office.
Hail that’s 2 inches in diameter falls between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball, according to meteorologists.
Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will start as early as noon Wednesday, but the strongest chance for severe weather will be between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., according to the weather service.
Hail is expected to be smaller in northeastern and north central Colorado, weather service forecasters out of Boulder said. The largest hail forecast is an inch in diameter, about the size of a quarter.
