A wide-reaching severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming, extending down to El Paso County until 9 p.m. Monday night.

The peak for El Paso County is expected between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., with many of the storms out of the way by 8 p.m., according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.

Hail — up to golf-ball sized — and severe winds are the primary concern for residents in southern Colorado as storms develop Monday afternoon. Flash flooding is also a risk with the amount of moisture in the air.

NWS Pueblo is expecting scattered storms starting at 2 p.m. and lasting until 9 p.m. throughout the state. These storms are specifically expected to hit the northern portions of the Interstate 25 corridor and the eastern plains.
