DENVER — Another round of severe weather impacted Colorado on Friday.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Boulder said that large hail was reported across Elbert and Lincoln counties. There was also a tornado spotted 6 miles south of Arriba.
Up to 2-inch hail was reported in places like Arriba, Seibert, Genoa, Hugo and other eastern Colorado towns along Highway 24 near Limon.
Snow was also seen on Fremont Pass between Leadville and Copper Mountain on Friday afternoon.
The front range stayed mostly wet, with rain showers moving across the area in the afternoon and evening.
The City of Boulder said at 3:30 p.m. several underpasses along Bear Creek Canyon were closed due to flooding and debris.
The Denver metro area, Front Range and the eastern Colorado plains were likely to see showers and storms on Friday with heavy rain.
Because Colorado's ground is already saturated, the rain can lead to flash flooding in creeks, streams, rivers and roadways.
Around 2:30 p.m. Friday, Denver International Airport tweeted that some flights were delayed up to two hours due to thunderstorms.
The NWS issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch through 9 p.m. for parts of the Front Range and eastern plains south of the Denver metro area, including Colorado Sprigs.
NWS has issued a Flash Flood Watch from noon to 11 p.m. Friday for portions of Cheyenne, El Paso, Elbert, Douglas, Kit Carson, Larimer, Boulder, Lincoln, Adams, Denver, Arapahoe and Broomfield counties because flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
