Severe afternoon thunderstorms could bring up to tennis-ball-sized hail and 70 mph winds to Denver, northern Colorado and the Eastern Plains, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for 14 Colorado counties that will last through 9 p.m. Sunday.
That watch includes Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Elbert, Larimer, Lincoln, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington and Weld counties.
Most of the thunderstorms that reach Denver will wrap up by midnight, but another wave of weather is expected to arrive Monday afternoon, according to weather service forecasters.
