A brief tornado hit northeast Colorado Tuesday and caused damage, more severe storms expected Wednesday
After several days of severe weather popping over eastern Colorado, we can add Tuesday into the list of rough weather days. The combination of lots of atmospheric moisture and the heat of the day helped to super-charge a thunderstorm over Weld and Morgan counties Tuesday afternoon, sparking the development of a tornado near New Raymer in northeastern Colorado.
There were no injuries reported from the tornado touchdown, which occurred just about 5 miles south of New Raymer near the Morgan County line at approximately 4:57 p.m.
The storm also dropped quarter size hail in the town of New Raymer.
Another afternoon of severe storms is possible on Wednesday from Denver out to Kansas and down into southeastern Colorado.

Fund established by group JEWISHcolorado to help victims of Boulder terror attack
Jewish community leaders in Colorado on the day after a targeted attack on walkers in a peaceful pro-Israel march announced that they have launched a fund to help the victims. It is called the JEWISHcolorado Boulder Security Fund. Local faith leaders and members of the community conduct a prayer vigil for the victims of a fire attack outside the old Boulder County Courthouse on June 3, 2025 in Colorado. Chet Strange / Getty Images The firebombing attack in Boulder happened on the Pearl Street Mall on Sunday afternoon. Twelve people were injured when the suspect hurled Molotov cocktails at them, and several of those victims were taken to the hospital with serious burn injuries. According to their website, JEWISHcolorado works "on behalf of the Jewish community through outreach, advocacy, programming, and grantmaking." The group launched what they call an emergency fund to with the goal of raising $160,000 to help. The group says 100% of all donations will go to the community in Boulder, and the fund will focus on direct victim support, trauma support, security aid for Jewish groups. It will also focus on something described as "emerging community needs," meaning areas where funding becomes apparent in the weeks and months after the attack. "Thank you in advance for your support, and we continue to pray for a complete recovery for those injured in the attacks and continue to hold all hostages in our hearts," wrote JEWISHcolorado in a statement on its website. The suspect in the case is facing federal hate crime charges as well as local charges.

Timeline exposes Boulder suspect's movements before allegedly carrying out firebomb attack on pro-Israel group
Officials allege Mohamed Sabry Soliman targeted a peaceful pro-Israel protest on Sunday in what is being described as a terror attack that left 12 people injured. Soliman's journey to the United States began in August 2022 when he arrived in the country on a B1/B2 visa and was supposed to leave in February 2023, but the Biden administration gave him work authorization through March 2025, two months before he was accused of injuring 12 people at a pro-Israel peaceful protest in Boulder, Colorado. Soliman allegedly told federal and local law enforcement officials that he targeted a "Zionist group" that gathered in Boulder because he wanted to stop them from taking over "our land," which he said is "Palestine." Soliman allegedly told law enforcement that he had been planning the attack for a year, waiting until after his daughter graduated to carry it out. Here's a timeline of Soliman's journey to the United States: Soliman flew into Los Angeles International Airport on a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa on Aug. 27, 2022, sources told Fox News. Sources told Fox News that Soliman made some kind of claim through United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, which was possibly for asylum. Sources told Fox News that Soliman's B1/B2 visa was set to expire on Feb. 26, 2023, but he didn't leave the country. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services gave Soliman work authorization on March 29, 2023, which was valid for around two years, sources said. Soliman began driving for Uber in the spring of 2023, a spokesperson for the company told Fox News Digital. Uber said Soliman met all requirements to drive for the company, which include passing a criminal and driving history background check, holding a valid Social Security number and providing a photo ID. One of Soliman's neighbors told Fox News Digital that Soliman was "not home that often" because he was "working really hard." A Veros health spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Soliman began working at the company in its accounting department. "He was hired in our accounting department. He went through a hiring process with ADP, our employer [Professional Employer Organization]. At the time of hire, he was confirmed to have a valid work visa, which was noted to expire in March 2025," the spokesperson said. Soliman's employment with Veros Health ended in August 2023, according to a company spokesperson. "We can confirm that Mohamed Soliman worked with Veros from May 2023 to August 2023," the spokesperson said. Soliman's work authorization ended in March 2025 after it was granted under the Biden administration in March 2023, sources said. Soliman was accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at the pro-Israel group "Run for Their Lives" as they were protesting for the release of Hamas' hostages. Twelve people were injured. Soliman was charged with first-degree murder, crimes against at-risk adults/elderly; first-degree assault, criminal attempt to commit class one and class two felonies, and use of explosives or incendiary devices during a felony. Former FBI special agent Jonathan Gilliam told Fox News Digital he's concerned the Biden administration didn't do a good enough job at vetting Soliman when he first came to the United States. "When we look at the border and how open the border was for over four years, literally wide open," Gilliam said. "The problem with individuals like this guy…is that they are presenting themselves as activists. They're presenting themselves as altruistic and acting out for a cause for the greater good." Gilliam said it's likely Soliman has harbored "hatred" for a period of time, but chose to act out on it now. "He came from an area where the hate is taught his entire life, of America, of Israel," Gilliam said. "He planned the event for a year, but he already had the hatred inside of him. So you're just seeing them act out on something that is already inside of them."

Fear in America's Jewish community intensifies after latest antisemitic attack
Like many Jewish Americans, Hannah Gay Keao has been living on edge and fear of antisemitism since Hamas' deadly October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. But when her daughter asked why she was sad hours after a man targeted Jewish people and set them on fire at a community event in Boulder, Colorado, Gay Keao paused. The firebombing attack happened just 25 miles from where Gay Keao serves on the Edgewater city council, and she said she searched for a way to explain the antisemitism unfolding in their backyard in terms the 4-year-old could understand. 'She's Jewish,' Gay Keao said. 'It's important for her to know the realities of the world.' Jewish leaders have been alarmed by the historic rise in antisemitic threats since the war between Israel and Hamas began in 2023. That fear has only heightened this week with the attack in Boulder, the third violent attack on the Jewish community in the last two months. Two Israeli embassy workers in Washington, DC, were killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in late May, and an arsonist set the Pennsylvania governor's mansion on fire on the first night of Passover because of Gov. Josh Shapiro's views on the war in Gaza, according to search warrants. 'I wish I could say I was surprised by these events, but Jews have been sounding the alarm on the rise in antisemitism since October 7,' Sheila Katz, the CEO of the National Council of Jewish Women said. 'This is what happens when we allow antisemitism to go unchecked.' The attack on Sunday came during a peaceful demonstration aimed at raising awareness of the remaining hostages in Gaza. Twelve people were injured, and two remain hospitalized, officials said. The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, told investigators he 'wanted to kill all Zionist people' and had planned the attack for a year, according to an affidavit. He was captured on video by bystanders yelling 'Free Palestine' before police arrested him. Soliman now faces a federal hate crime charge and state charges of attempted murder. 'Most Jews right now are feeling unsafe and unsure about where to show up,' Katz said. 'Killing and burning Jews does nothing to make Palestinians safer or more free.' 'Antisemitism will never be a path to justice.' Sunday's attack came hours before the start of Shavuot, the holiday commemorating the day God gave the Torah to the Jewish people. At the Main Line Reform Temple just outside of Philadelphia, Senior Rabbi Geri Newburge said the past several weeks have been brutal, leaving her 'pretty demoralized and heartbroken.' The aftermath of October 7—combined with escalating protests against Israel's war in Gaza— made an attack like this feel inevitable, she said. 'It doesn't feel like such a stretch to me at this point that the rhetoric would move from posters or chants to doing something violent,' Newburge said. The rabbi noted she and members of her congregation have also felt antisemitism increasing across the country — and it's taking a toll. 'It's exhausting — spiritually, emotionally and even physically,' Newburge explained. Across the country, Jewish schools, synagogues and community centers continue to have tight security. Oftentimes, there is a visible police presence or armed security guards. Michael Bernstein, board chair of the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, attended an event last Wednesday for a local Jewish organization where some of the attendees were non-Jews. He called the necessary security an 'unfortunate tax' and a measure most other communities don't need. This latest wave of attacks has left many Jewish leaders wondering what more can be done. Bernstein said Jews needed to secure their spaces, but security and the Jewish community alone wouldn't solve antisemitism. 'This is an American problem, it's not a Jewish problem,' he said, and pointed to Pittsburgh community after the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue. The 2018 shooting, the worst attack on Jews in American history, left 11 worshippers dead and six others wounded. Pittsburgh, he said, came together to say antisemitism wasn't acceptable. 'An attack on one group is an attack on all of us,' Bernstein said. 'And the community held us.' 'It's an all-of-society approach.' Outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, candles and flowers mark the spot where Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were gunned down on May 21. The white lilies placed at the memorial hadn't even started wilting yet when the firebombing in Boulder began. Milgrim and Lischinsky attended an event to discuss how multi-faith organizations could work together to bring humanitarian aid to war-torn regions like Gaza. Their friends and colleagues said they were devoted to the peace process in Israel. The suspected gunman, whom DC police later identified as 31-year-old Chicago native Elias Rodriguez, shouted 'Free Palestine' after he was arrested. Katz, who said she knew Milgrim professionally and had been invited to the event, but was unable to attend, stressed 'non-violence must be non-negotiable.' 'Anyone who wants to see peace, who wants to see an end to the war, who wants to see the hostages to be released, who wants to see a better future for Palestinians and Israelis, has to understand that violence towards Jews in America or around the world is not going to make that peace happen,' Katz said. Antisemitism has surged globally, according to the Anti-Defamation League, and rose after the start of the war in Gaza. Threats to Jews in the United States tripled between October 7, 2023 and September 2024, the organization said. Gay Keao said she has been critical of Israel's action toward Palestinians but has also witnessed a disregard for Jewish safety since October 7. Now, she often wakes up wondering, 'What's going to happen next?' 'I just refuse to believe that the cyclical violence is inevitable,' she said. 'As a Jewish person, I can't embrace that. I'm here for breaking those cycles.' Nearly 2,000 miles away, sitting beneath his synagogue's serene outdoor Holocaust memorial, Philadelphia Rabbi Shawn Zevit said his diverse urban congregation has been experiencing a mix of emotions. But, he said, reaching out to Jewish loved ones is critical at this moment, so his community does not feel alone. 'Just the message of 'I'm thinking about you,'' Zevit argued, can be comforting to Jewish people feeling upset. But the rabbi also noted calling out even minor instances of antisemitism is key to preventing future attacks. 'Treat those moments as gateways for increased solidarity and vigilance,' he said. Katz said people knew how to call out antisemitism when it was 'bullets in synagogues or Nazis with tiki torches' but needed to be able to recognize it in all of its forms. 'Antisemitism doesn't begin with bullets or firebombs,' she added. 'But it ends there when it's ignored.' Bernstein, the chair of the board of the Tree of Life, warned antisemitism doesn't stay a Jewish issue. He pointed to a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, where 10 people were killed in a racially motivated mass shooting at a supermarket. 'This hateful ideology,' he said, 'it comes after everybody.' CNN's TuAnh Dam contributed to this report.
