Hail storm hits the Front Range

DENVER (KDVR) — Hail hit the Front Range on Tuesday ahead of another day of severe weather chances.

A severe thunderstorm warning was in effect Tuesday evening for parts of northeast Colorado, including Adams, Denver, Weld and Larimer counties, according to the National Weather Service.

It was a quick hail storm, but the intersection of 120th and Colorado in Thornton seemed to take the brunt of it.

“It was a very crazy 5 minutes,” nearby resident Jessica Fey told FOX31’s Greg Nieto.

Fey lives in an apartment complex just west of Colorado Boulevard and said Mother Nature hit at about 6:10 p.m. on Tuesday. She said she caught pea-sized hail.

FOX31 viewers sent photos and videos of the hail, some pea-sized and some bigger.

Denver’s weather will be stormy late Tuesday into Wednesday with severe weather on both days. There is a risk for possible large hail on the Front Range and plains on Wednesday, as well as strong winds and isolated tornadoes.

Make sure you have a way to get severe weather updates and alerts on Wednesday.

If a severe weather alert is issued for your area, whether it is a thunderstorm watch or warning, tornado watch or tornado warning, it will always show up at the top of the FOX31 website.
