Weather authorities in Colorado are warning of warmer temperatures with increased thunderstorm activity, including risks of large hail, damaging winds, lightning, and isolated landspouts. Severe storms are likely, particularly east of I-25, with threats of 2-inch hail, 60 mph winds, and landspout tornadoes. The forecast predicts cooler weather tomorrow with isolated storms in the afternoon. Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop mainly northeast of Greeley to Limon, with the potential for hail up to 1.5 inches, 60 mph winds, and lightning. A cold front passing through will bring slightly cooler temperatures but maintain chances of strong to severe thunderstorms, especially east of I-25.
