Timing, totals, impact of April's severe weather storm ...Middle East

DENVER (KDVR) -- A severe weather storm is rolling across Colorado on Thursday, leaving storms capable of strong winds, hail and isolated tornadoes.

From May to August the marks severe weather season in Colorado, which means there's an increase in the frequency of severe storms, hail, stronger winds and even tornadoes, according to the Pinpoint Weather team.

A Pinpoint Weather Alert Day has been issued on Thursday for the first widespread threat for severe weather of the season in Denver metro, and the better chance for strong storms in the Eastern Plains with 60 mph wind gusts, coin-sized hail and thunderstorms starting in the afternoon.

Here is everything you need to know about the incoming April storm.

Timing

Severe weather could start as early as Thursday afternoon.

According to Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Liz McGiffin, rain showers will start around 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Denver and into the Eastern Plains. Thunderstorms capable of producing strong wind gusts and quarter-sized hail will pick up around 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Through the evening, thunderstorms could become severe, producing quarter-sized hail, about 1 inch in diameter, and strong winds will continue with the isolated chance for a tornado farther east. 

The severe weather should taper out by sunset Thursday, but there are still chances for lighter showers into Friday.

Totals

While there won't be any snow, there will be a decent amount of hail in the metro and Eastern Plains. McGiffin said there will be hail the size of a quarter in the Eastern Plains, with smaller-sized hail in Denver. There should be enough hail to cover the ground.

During the storm, wind gusts will also pick up to as high as 60 mph in the metro and the plains.

The Pinpoint Weather team said there is also a slight tornado risk, but that's far east, heading out of the state.

While there won't be much on the ground by the end of the storm, throughout Thursday and afternoon and into the night, people should be careful if they're heading outside.

What to know

The storm picks up around the time of the evening commute home. If you're driving around the Denver metro or in the Eastern Plains, expect wet roads and slowdowns.

McGiffin said the best way to keep your car safe during these storms is to find indoor parking to protect your car from hail damage and falling branches caused by the strong wind.

While there may be hail in the metro, the coin-sized hail will be in the Eastern Plains, east of the Denver International Airport. McGiffin said there could be damaging hail east, but the metro should see anything too big in the metro.
