Much of the eastern part of the Denver metro area was pummeled by hail late Thursday night.
COLORADO, USA — Severe thunderstorms deliver hail, heavy rain and lightning to parts of the Denver metro area late Thursday night.
The storms first developed north and northeast of Denver, dropping heavy hail in Erie and Broomfield. They continued moving across eastern Denver and into Aurora through the night.
According to the National Weather Service, the storms produced hail up to baseball size. They also warned residents about the possibility of accumulating hail.
Viewers sent pictures of the large hail from Brighton, Denver, Northglenn, Thornton and more.
Storms are expected to move out overnight, with a few lingering thundershowers and small hail.
Friday, we will start the day with some minor cloud clover and seasonal highs in the upper 70s. Midday, another round of spotty storms moves back in, likely becoming strongest across the eastern front range and plains.
These areas will be under marginal and slight risks for severe weather again. People should continue to prepare for large hail, damaging winds and heavy downpours to leave the biggest impact.
Saturday, early sunshine returns and afternoon temperatures continue to rise, with highs climbing into the middle 80s. That heat will ignite more storms across the eastern half of the state. Again, the strongest storms will likely fall across the eastern plains.
