Tornado watch is in effect until 10pm. Thunderstorms starting to intensity. Please keep a close eye on the weather in this area.

The brown area has a significant risk of a tornado or two later this afternoon and evening. Please keep an eye in this area. The area in yellow has a significant risk of large hail and damaging winds. Please keep an eye out if you live in these areas.

A tropical depression has formed in the eastern Atlantic and is forecast to become Hurricane Danny. Back home, there is an area (yellow) where large hail and damaging thunderstorm winds are forecast later today. A tornado or two is also possible near the Kansas-Missouri border.

We now have two tornado warnings (red polygons) in Colorado. The area is under a tornado watch (see below). Also, delays are likely to airline traffic in and out of Denver International as it is under a thunderstorm at the moment. Note: I am not live-blogging today's storms.

In addition to a moderate risk of tornadoes, there is a high risk of large hail. Put your car in the garage!

There is a risk of tornadoes this afternoon and evening along Interstate 70 from Goodland, Kansas, to Denver. There is also a risk of very large (≥2") hail in the hatched area. Please remember to put your car indoors and anything else that might be damaged by large hail. The forecast of severe thunderstorms moving east tomorrow and Wednesday (see Forecaster Evie, below) still looks valid.
