10:30 a.m. - Updated high-resolution model simulations for storms this afternoon:
Here's a new model simulation for storms this afternoon. It is certainly showing strong if not severe storms in El Paso County, but one rather large storm moving over I-25 in between Colorado Springs and Pueblo. It's not perfect but gives us a good idea about storms later pic.twitter.com/zbQo3gzHbl

8 a.m. - Severe weather threats for today:
Even though our tornado threat is low today, we can't rule out a rotating supercell or two. 1-2 inch hail and flash flooding remain my two highest concerns, but there could be some big wind that blows out of our strongest storms late today pic.twitter.com/bDCvghfCf4
