Severe storms blast eastern Colorado with at least one tornado touching down Sunday afternoon. Multiple reports from spotters and chasers near the Morgan/Washington County line northwest of Akron report a landspout tornado on the ground for about 5 minutes around 3:48 pm. 

 Storm chaser Chad Casey got a good shot of the land spout tornado as it touched the ground Sunday afternoon.

A Severe T-storm Watch is in effect until 8pm Sunday evening.

Afternoon and evening thunderstorms are expected through Monday, especially along the I-25 corridor and across the eastern plains. While many of Saturday's storms remained below severe limits, storms on Sunday and Monday afternoon have the potential to be strong to severe, particularly east of Denver. 

As moisture increases and winds turn northeasterly Sunday, there's heightened concern for large hail—potentially golf-ball sized—and damaging wind gusts, with the strongest storms likely forming during the late afternoon and early evening hours. 

By Tuesday, the stormy pattern begins to break as a strong ridge of high pressure builds over the state. That shift will bring hot and dry conditions to much of Colorado midweek. Temperatures are forecast to climb sharply by Wednesday, with highs in the upper 90s. There's the possibility of triple-digit heat, especially in cities like Greeley, Fort Morgan, and parts of the Eastern Plains.
