DENVER — Here we go again! Scattered storms are racing off the foothills and across the Denver metro area and eastern plains tonight.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for much of eastern Colorado until 1 am as severe storms are likely into the overnight hours. The biggest threats will be for flash flooding, large hail, damaging winds and even a few tornadoes.
With the threat of flooding rains, a Flood Watch is in effect for the Front Range foothills, northern Colorado and the southern suburbs until 11 pm. Some areas are seeing localized flooding with one to two inches of rainfall in just an hour.
Look for partly cloudy skies Wednesday morning with increasing clouds throughout the afternoon. Lather, rinse, repeat! Storms fire up in the early afternoon and will zip across the city and onto the plains by the early evening. So far it looks like a few cells could turn severe along I-76 in the northeastern corner of Colorado.
Much warmer and drier weather will settle in toward the end of the week. We'll see highs near 90 starting Friday, through the weekend. Scattered storms make a comeback Sunday and next Monday.
