The biggest threat for severe weather is over southeastern Colorado, with large hail and damaging winds possible. 

While the Front Range isn't included in the Storm Prediction Center's threat, there is enough energy in the atmosphere for some of the storms to reach the severe threshold, especially over the Palmer Divide.

Wednesday should be a little quieter as we expect to see mostly sunny skies and only isolated afternoon storms. Afternoon highs will reach from 80° to 85°. Thunderstorms move back in on Friday.
