Denver experienced a severe hailstorm with hail the size of baseballs causing significant damage in the metro area. Lightning was also intense during the storm. The hailstorm resulted in millions of dollars in damages and affected numerous neighborhoods, resembling a snow-covered landscape.
People across the Denver metro area spent the weekend cleaning up after multiple intense hailstorms pounded the region. @NWSBoulder meteorologist Zach Hiris joined us to recap the events and explain why Colorado is prone to large hailstorms: https://t.co/A7b6aXITy9
Last night's historic #hailstorm in Denver made it look like it snowed. Many folks are cleaning up from damage to cars and homes today #COwx https://t.co/3J7XFhi7xd
It may look like snow, but it's actually hail on the ground in several neighborhoods around Denver. See more hail size reports: https://t.co/dKraPqAZ7I https://t.co/Zqs0FmysYH
It's almost June 1st, but it looks more like January 1st in parts of the Denver metro after a destructive storm dropped golfball-sized hail late Thursday night. https://t.co/PMGdej3L4M
Even 12 hours later, there are inches of hail covering the ground in neighborhoods close to Denver’s airport. This is wild! Feeling for everyone waking up to house/vehicle damage this morning. @KDVR https://t.co/TBgLmb6NYz
Guessing an area with a million (more?) people saw golf ball or larger hail last night in the Denver metro. 19 different NWS reports of golf ball or larger hail in east Denver, north/central Aurora, Commerce City, east Broomfield + Thornton. #COwx https://t.co/JngXW092MT

The Denver metro area was pummeled by hail last night. …. Up to baseball-sized hail fell in part of the city! …. Damage is likely in the millions of $. @WLOS_13 https://t.co/qkSz49ULZ8
Hail was of course the main headline with last night’s damaging storms in northeast Denver but the lightning was also spectacular and nearly constant as the storms moved through. This was shot by a friend (@a_j_susa) in Broomfield on his GoPro. https://t.co/BOBKpAWn3t
