Severe Storms in SE Corner of Colorado Friday

SEVERE STORMS FRIDAY

Severe thunderstorms over eastern Las Animas County, southern Bent and Prowers Counties, and Baca County are likely to develop today between 2:30-4pm, move east through the late afternoon and be in Kansas by 7:30 pm.

The biggest threat today is strong downdraft wind of 60-70mph…but ping pong ball hail and even an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. The most likely area and timeframe of a tornado is between Kim and Pritchett between 4-5:30pm before the storms start to line out and be big straight-line wind makers.

Ping pong ball-sized hail is also possible with the storms as the move from eastern Las Animas County into Baca County in the late afternoon.
