SPC has lowered the tornado risk to 2% and the surface winds are still light and ill-defined but things still look good for possible brief tornadoes.

DEN HWO: SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE...ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS OF COLORADO LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.THUNDERSTORMS WILL FIRST DEVELOP OVER THE FRONT RANGE FOOTHILLS BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND THEN SPREAD AND DEVELOP EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS OF COLORADO LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE STORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND STRONGER AS THEY MOVE EAST OF THE URBAN CORRIDOR WHERE HIGHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EXISTS. SOME OF THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME SEVERE AFTER 2 PM WITH LARGE HAIL UP TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND DAMAGING WINDS. DUE TO THE STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL SHEAR IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND A POTENTIAL CONVERGENCE ZONE DEVELOPING ALONG THE I-76 CORRIDOR...ONE OR TWO SHORT LIVED TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THE HIGHEST RISK AREA FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM GREELEY TO LIMON.
