Colorado weather blog: Tornado warnings in effect until 5 p.m. for Logan, Morgan counties

DENVER — If you were hoping for a bit of a break in severe weather, you'll have to wait a bit longer as Wednesday is likely to be a repeat of what happened Tuesday across northeastern Colorado.

The Denver7 weather team is tracking another round of late afternoon and evening storms around the Denver metro area and plains. So far, much of eastern Colorado is under a slight risk of severe storms Wednesday, according to Denver7 chief meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo. These cells could produce baseball to softball size hail, damaging 70+ mph wind gusts and isolated tornadoes across the eastern half of the state.
