Severe storms likely across Colorado's Front Range and Eastern Plains

Severe storms are likely across Colorado's Front Range and Eastern Plains, bringing threats like large hail and damaging wind gusts this afternoon. Conditions improve toward the end of the work week as a ridge of high pressure cuts off monsoon rains, leading to warmer and drier conditions. Friday is expected to be much warmer, with highs climbing into the mid-90s in the Denver metro area.
