Hailstorm hits parts of Colorado Tuesday night

Widespread severe weather is possible for Denver and Colorado's Front Range on Wednesday.

Hail, strong winds and a few tornadoes are possible with large hail being the main hazard for the Denver area, although winds exceeding 60 or even 70 mph could also threaten the area Wednesday.

The highest threat to the Denver metro area looks to be between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesday. Some risk also remains for 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The tornado threat appears, at this time, relatively low for the Denver area, though it could be a bit higher for areas east of the city.

Before the system arrives, there are steps you can take to be prepared for severe weather such as hail, rain, lightning, strong winds and tornadoes.
