Kylie Bearse posted a video on Facebook stating that Colorado doesn't see a level-3 severe weather threat that often. What's more concerning is the timing. Usually, these storms pop up in the afternoon; this time, there is a good probability that the storms affecting the Front Range will be most active in the evening, between 9 p.m. and midnight.

The National Weather Service for Denver/Boulder says that baseball-sized hail, 75 mph winds, and a low to medium risk for tornadoes are all possible this evening. This threat of severe weather includes the urban corridor, including Denver, Fort Collins, and Greeley.

Storms Could Arrive Late Tuesday Evening

Storms could start as early as 3 p.m., but the brunt of the storms will arrive late this evening. On Wednesday, June 24, a Level Two Threat remains across the Front Range of Colorado for severe storms with possible large hail, localized flash flooding, and thunderstorms.
