We had just a limited number of severe weather reports from northeast Colorado Tuesday evening, but the storms were very intense with some 2 inch hail reported west of Burlington, CO. We even had a few funnels reported too.
The risk for severe storms ramps up again today, especially in western Kansas. Nobody wants big hail, high winds, or tornadoes, but it's so dry in the west that the excitement for rainfall probably overshadows the severe risk. The storms will likely develop after 5 or 6 in the evening, and I expect most of the storms to move east/northeast. Late in the night, we could see some activity either move into or develop north of I-70. A few of those storms could be severe too. Our weather will be unsettled for several days to come because of a stationary front and a slow moving low pressure system that will be tracking across the southwest US. It's the kind of setup we've been waiting on for a very, very long time.

Thursday will bring another round of late afternoon and evening storms to central and western Kansas. Some of you have been asking about how much rain we could get over the next 6 or 7 days, and one of the more reliable forecast models shows a fair amount for our area (maybe over 2 inches in some cases) Fingers crossed!!
