Severe storms bring the threat of heavy rain, large hail and even the possibility of tornadoes into the High Plains Monday evening.
Denver has already seen impacts, as an impressive hail storm slammed into the metro area around 2 p.m., dropping hail as large as golf balls.
Photos posted to social media show what looks like snow, but it's actually a thick sheet of hail covering highways and grassy areas. Denver's 9 News reports Cherry Creek schools delayed dismissing students because of the weather.
No major damage was reported, but the threat isn’t over. A tornado watch stretches from the Denver metro north and east into extreme southern Wyoming, western Nebraska and extreme western Kansas. The watch is set to expire at 9 p.m. local time.
A severe thunderstorm watch is also posted for 9 p.m. for portions of southern Colorado and eastern New Mexico into the extreme western Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.
