COLORADO - Severe warned storms have been moving through the I-25 corridor of Colorado today, including this funnel cloud spotted in Castle Rock, a southern suburb of Denver.

An area of low pressure will bring strong and severe storms across portions of the Plains over the next few days. Overnight, there is a SLIGHT risk for severe storms across eastern Colorado, Kansas, and portions of Nebraska. Thunderstorms capable of producing severe wind gusts and large hail are likely.

There will be some isolated heavy rain as these storms develop. Localized heavy rain up to 2 inches will be possible.
