The last weekend before the “official” start of summer is kicking off on a stormy note across the Plains.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect from eastern Colorado into central Nebraska and central Kansas, as well as adjacent portions of Wyoming, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Denver, Cheyenne, Wyo., Dodge City, Kan., and North Platte, Neb., are all in this watch.
With these storms, hail will be the primary threat, which could be measured up to the size of baseballs. Wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph will be commonplace too, which could cause significant damage.
Make sure to frequently check WeatherBug for updates, as a watch can quickly turn into a warning upon imminent danger. It is important to stay prepared for active weather. Make sure you know the difference between a watch and a warning should they become issued. A watch means that conditions are favorable for severe weather to take place, whereas a warning means severe weather is imminent and you need to act fast to prevent damage to property or even loss of life. Remember, “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!”
