    Examiner.com Weather Alert - Tornadoes & Hail Reported

    May 22, 2:00 PM
     
     
    The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch effective until 8:00pm tonight for much of the central plains including the Denver metro area.  Two tornadoes have been reported north of the metro area and radar indications show great potential for severe thunderstorms, hail and tornadoes across much of northeastern Colorado. 

    Update, 1:55pm - Severe damage appears to have been caused by the first tornado to strike today. The town on Windsor in particular appears to have sustained heavy damage.  The Greeley Tribune is reporting one possible tornado death near the missile silo park near Colo. 257 near 10th Street in west Greeley. Reports are that old town Windsor has been heavily damaged.

     

    At 11:30am radar showed a tornado touching down three miles east of Milliken (about 45 miles north of Denver).  The radar image at the right shows the cell in its early stages with a tornado signature.  Reports indicate that there have been no injuries but officials have closed Highway 85 at Highway 60 after two semi-trailers were blown over in that area.  Power is reported out in Greeley.  

    At 12:23pm law enforcement reported a tornado 4 miles west of Dacono (24 miles north of Denver). Storm is moving at 33mph. A Tornado Warning is active until 1:00pm  for the immediate area including Niwot, Dacono and Longmont.

    All readers should be reminded that a Tornado Watch is issued by the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma as a precautionary alert when conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes in the specific area.  You may wish to familiarize yourself by reading our Severe Weather 101 - Tornadoes article.

    Please stay tuned to area media outlets for more information as this afternoon's weather develops.
