Egg-Sized hail possible across Eastern Colorado Sunday

Egg-Sized hail possible across Eastern Colorado Sunday

CBS News18-05-2025
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and evening across portions of eastern Colorado. All modes of severe weather will be possible, including:
Large hail up to 2 inches in diameter
Isolated tornadoes
Wind gusts up to 70 mph
CBS
Storms are expected to begin forming between 12 and 2 p.m. across the foothills and the Denver metro area. This initial development will tap into limited instability, which could still support a few strong storms with marginally severe hail. That includes areas like Denver and Boulder — now is a good time to prepare for hail.
CBS
As storms push east toward Denver International Airport and the I-76 corridor, they will encounter a more unstable atmosphere. This added storm fuel could lead to rapid intensification as storms move toward Fort Morgan and areas to the north and east.
CBS
The primary concern today is large hail, potentially up to the size of an egg. The main window for severe development will be between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Colorado ski resorts look forward to opening day of the 2025/2026 season

Ski bums who want to get back on the slopes can see the light at the end of the long, hot summer tunnel. On Wednesday, Vail Resorts announced when its ski resorts will open. And winter is coming despite near-record temperatures forecasted by the First Alert Weather team for Denver this week. There is always a race to see who will be first to open in Colorado. This year will be no different. Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, and Loveland all say they hope to open in October, depending on snow conditions. Communications Director for Loveland Ski Area, Loryn Roberson, told CBS News Colorado Wednesday, "We'll open as soon as possible." Loveland does not set a specific opening date; however, "weather permitting, we hope to have the snow guns fired up toward the end of September," Roberson said. Wolf Creek Ski Area opened first during the 2024-2025 ski season. Colorado has 21 major ski mountains, with smaller hills peppered throughout the high country. Other opening dates:
