That's right.
We're calling it a Super Soaker, Tom.
We love the moisture we do.
The severe weather, the hail,
the Tornadoes, the lightning,
the damage, not so much.
For some of you,
it will be heavy rain like we're
seeing in Greeley and downtown Denver.
Thunder lightning up over
the Continental Divide.
It's heavy snow,
and that snow will come right
down to about 6500 feet.
This evening we're tracking the spring storm,
prompting National Weather Service to issue
a winter storm warning for the foothills
and mountains West and South of Denver.
For Denver,
we start as rain, but could.
Flip to snow and lightning
has been a big threat.
Damaging winds around the area.

tornado visible from Buckley Air

Thankfully no damage. No injuries.
Not a very big debris field.
This system dropping down near
the Prospect Valley in Keensburg
areas with a tornado warning,
the first of the season and a
severe thunderstorm warning
for Weld County and Northern.
Adams County for a time.
So we've got all the seasons
combined into one today,
62 degrees in Denver with enough sunshine,
we warm to that number and that
really did destabilize the atmosphere
allowing for the severe weather
that we're still seeing out at DIA.
So call ahead if you have travel plans there.
Heavy rain coming up from the South
wrapping around that low pressure system.
We've got some convergence lines that
are producing some signs of rotation.
We've already had a couple
of tornado reports,
those land spout tornado
reports coming in around.
Kingsburg,
Prospect Valley,
Weld County and northern Adams County
hail returns with these systems as well.
The hail coming off the foothills
into Berth and Longmont,
Erie and out toward the Keysburg area.
Estimating 1/2 an inch to an inch in
diameter peed a marble sized for many
areas and that's the biggest threat
with this system as it rolls through.
But it's a fast moving system.
It's dropping into southeastern
Colorado and look at the rotation
around at the synoptic view of
it is spectacular severe weather
threat extending into the.
Central Plains,
It's all snow above 6500 feet and heavy snow.
Douglas County above 6500 to 7000 feet.
5 to 12 inches of snow one to two feet
in the Foothill areas above 8000 feet.
Really ramping up tonight into tomorrow
when the cold air fills in as the
system slides into southeastern Colorado.
Temperatures tomorrow will warm back
into the mid 50s with some sunshine.

By 10:00 o'clock tonight,
Denver's dealing on the edge.
Whether it'll be rain or snow,
it's going to be wet, heavy snow.
And it ends tomorrow morning.
We get some sunshine by tomorrow afternoon.
You do need to shake the tree branches,
watch for down power lines.
Heaviest snow above 7000 feet to
the West and South of the city.
But we're watching.
The temperature very closely because the rain
could flip to snow in Denver and turn heavy.
It's certainly a potential lows tonight
in the 30s for most of eastern Colorado.
Highs tomorrow warmest to the north,
coldest to the South where the low
will keep it cloudy with heavy rain,
Thunder, lightning down around Pueblo,
Springfield and your Foothill
communities in the mid 40s.
Tomorrow once the snow stops and the
snow will be heavy in Netherland,

storm and round of rain and snow
ahead of a beautiful weekend.
Upper 60s and lower 70s right through Monday.
Of next week.
But here we go, guys.
Severe weather season has begun.
And a busy afternoon.
It's gonna be a busy night and a
busy overnight into tomorrow. But

Yes, it is. We need
