Wild Spring weather slams parts of Coloardo

You always here about that "crazy" Colorado weather. Well, after an exceptionally dry and uneventful winter here in Denver, May is shaping up to be just that - a money maker for precipitation and weather events. The NWS did forecast this some time back as cool and unsettled weather in May can be an effect of La Nina which has ruled our weather pattern for months now.

More active weather has already arrived and will stick with us for the next 12 to 24 hours. Here is a list of just some what is in store for the region: Tornado Warning,Winter Storm Warning, Flash Flood Warning, Winter Weather Advisory, Flood Watch, Fire Weather Watch. Impressive to say the least. Winter, rain, floods, severe weather, fire danger - you name it. Welcome to Springtime in the Rockies! Here is an image from the NWS that shows these watches and warnings:

While we welcome the moisture, please take all warnings very seriously. Currently there are tornado warnings issued for Denver and surrounding areas, but specific locations are bound to change as these storms continue to develop and move on. I will be posting any warnings I see on Twitter (@brendansweather) but be sure to stay tuned to local media for more details on this ever changing weather.
