Severe storms with large hail possible in Colorado Friday
A stormy Friday is in store for parts of Colorado as the threat of severe weather looms, especially for areas east of the I-25 corridor.
CBS
A First Alert Weather Day is in place due to the potential for large hail, potentially over 2 inches in diameter, and damaging wind gusts of 40 mph or higher. The highest risk area is southeastern Colorado where tornadoes are possible.
CBS
In the Denver metro area, the severe weather threat will hinge on how quickly morning cloud cover and light showers dissipate. If skies clear by midday, additional storm development could bring strong to severe storms into the urban corridor.
CBS
Storms are expected to taper off by late evening, with gradual clearing overnight. Saturday will bring a welcome break from active weather, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid-80s.
CBS
Moisture increases again on Sunday as another disturbance pushes across the region. Afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are likely, with cooler temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.

On D-day anniversary, the roar was distant thunder
It was the 81st anniversary of D-Day on Friday, and in Washington and its surroundings all seemed atmospherically serene, with any sounds of thunder coming from distant and isolated storms, and any possible sight or sniff of smoke resulting from far-off wildfires. Overall it seemed a calm and low-key day, a day of somewhat blurry identity, one that suggested either late spring or early summer. Classifying it more precisely probably depended as much as anything on personal feelings about what makes the seasons, and how and when one gives way to the next. By early evening, Washington had spent hours watching the skies grow dark as what appeared to be a fair facsimile of storm clouds assembled. But as of 8 p.m. no rain had fallen in the city itself. The main accomplishment of the gathering of clouds seemed to be to shield the city from the direct rays of the sun, which are at this time of year at the peak of their power. It was neither a sunny day nor a day without sunshine. Dulles International Airport reported a thunderstorm, and .05 of an inch of rain fell there, between 3 and 5 p.m. Within sight of the airport loomed those towers of cloud known as cumulonimbus, the sort that spread not out but upward, the sky's own skyscrapers, Often they portend thunder and lightning. It didn't seem possible to be certain that a shower was not in store elsewhere in the area. In Washington the high temperature reached 86 degrees, four degrees above the average high for June 6 in the city. It was the warmest of the six days of June thus far, but probably not warm enough to complain about on Friday or any other day. And most of the time the mercury stayed below that, The wind caused little stir. Most of the time it seemed well below 10 mph. Signs of summer could probably be found in the dew points. They spent most of the day in the mid-and upper 60s in Washington, and may have started to suggest some of the necessary humid ingredients of a typical summer day here. And based on published maps, high above the city the faraway fires in Canada, apparently spread a thin canopy of smoke.

Johns Hopkins promises to pay to clean massive diesel fuel spill in Baltimore harbor
Many of the large pools of diesel fuel, noticeable by its distinct red color from dye, have been removed from Baltimore's harbor two days after a 2,000-gallon spill. It is a testament to the quick response after Johns Hopkins Hospital's emergency generators were overfilled, leaking into storm drains and funneling into the Harbor Wednesday. "I was really worried when I woke up this morning about what I was going to find when kayaking around the harbor. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed that areas where there were impacts yesterday have since been cleaned up," said the Waterfront Partnership's Adam Lindquist. He not only extensively observed conditions from the water on Friday but also was instrumental in the creation of the turtle habitat in the canal along Lancaster Street, where much of the fuel was collected. It is one of the only stretches of natural shoreline left here. "Wildlife have really made that a sanctuary to the point where we know there are hundreds of turtles living in that canal, as well as the ducks and the geese and the fish. We are at this moment less concerned about how that spill is going to affect the larger harbor and really starting to focus our attention on how we're going to restore and clean up the canal, which is the focused area of this spill," Lindquist told WJZ. Fells Point safeguards A WJZ drone captured protective barriers in Fells Point, placed there in case fuel runoff flows that way. "With the rain coming through this weekend, I think that's a big question mark. How much fuel is still left in the stormwater pipes? Is it going to keep coming out of that one outfall, or could it spread to other outfalls? Right now, there has not been any spread to other outfalls, but we just don't know what's going to happen when it's raining, so we'll all be keeping an eye on that," Lindquist explained. Fire Chief James Wallace promised, "Should the situation change, we're able to react to it very quickly." Oil spill investigation Officials say the investigation into the spill from Hopkins' generators will start once the cleanup has ended. Johns Hopkins tells WJZ they are "working closely with federal, state, and local authorities, and we are focused first and foremost on the health and safety of the community and on environmental cleanup." They also promised to pay for damages. "This is our home, and we are fully committed to funding the cleanup and remediation efforts in the Inner Harbor, including any impacts to local wildlife. While we are concentrating on the cleanup effort, we are also closely reviewing the situation to understand what happened," the statement said.
