NEW: Severe weather with hail, lightning and heavy rains rumbled across the southern Denver area Wednesday and out onto the Eastern Plains, hitting Washington County hard where multiple tornado sightings were reported.
The biggest hail, a 4-inch stone according to the weather service, fell northeast of Gary in Morgan County about 5:50 p.m., Direnzo said. The Woodrow area, in Washington County, recorded 3-inch stone hail about 6:10 p.m.
Before the hail storm moved out onto the plains, the southern metro area received widespread afternoon hail including in Centennial, Castle Rock and Franktown, as the storm tracked to the northeast out of Douglas and Arapahoe counties where 2-inch hail was reported in some areas. Pea size hail is seen in the grass after a storm rolled through Centennial, Colorado on Wednesday, May, 10, 2023. A tornado watch was issued by the National Weather Forecast for counties across the Denver area until Wednesday evening.
Eight tornado sightings were reported in Washington County, including two outside of Akron about 6:30 p.m., by weather spotters, Direnzo said. Based on initial findings, the weather service believes that possibly three tornados touched down, with spotters reporting the same tornado from different vantage points. The weather service will continue to verify tornado touch downs from the storm in upcoming days and weeks.
