Severe weather conditions are impacting multiple regions across the United States, including Colorado, Utah, Wisconsin, and parts of the Northeast. In Colorado, widespread rain and severe thunderstorms are expected, particularly in the Denver metro area and along the Front Range. These storms may bring large hail up to two inches in diameter, damaging winds reaching 60 mph, heavy rain, and the possibility of isolated tornadoes. The FAA has issued a ground delay at Denver International Airport due to these conditions. El Paso and Teller counties, including Colorado Springs, are also under threat from severe storms. In Utah, thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds and dry microbursts with speeds up to 80 mph are forecast, elevating fire danger and spreading wildfire smoke. Northern Utah faces a marginal risk for strong to severe thunderstorms with potential microburst winds. Southern Utah is experiencing increased monsoon moisture, raising concerns about heavy rain and flash flooding near the Utah-Arizona border. Wisconsin is experiencing scattered strong to severe thunderstorms producing damaging winds and heavy rainfall, with storms moving northeast across southern and south-central parts of the state and expected to reach Lake Michigan by evening. In the Northeast, particularly northern Vermont and the New York side of the Champlain Valley, scattered strong wind gusts and a low risk of weak tornadoes are anticipated. Additional forecasts indicate cooler than normal temperatures and widespread rain with strong to severe storms possible on Colorado's eastern plains. Tropical moisture is expected to bring 1-2 inches of rain with higher totals possible in some areas, followed by a return to hot and dry conditions next week. Overall, the weather pattern is characterized by a long and thin marginal threat of severe weather stretching from Colorado into Northern New England, with damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes possible.
