U.S. – Storms Over Plains, Colorado Today

The threat for severe weather will shift back out to the Plains for the end of the week. A cold front will move through the Plains on Friday assisting in the formation of some strong-to-severe storms. The front is expected to bring showers and thunderstorms from the Dakotas and Minnesota to Texas. However, the area at greatest risk for violent storms will be across western Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and eastern Colorado. The main threat with these storms will be damaging wind gusts that may be in excess of 65 mph. However, there is also a threat for isolated incidents of large hail in this region. Through the weekend, strong to locally severe storms will continue to fire over the Plains.
