  1. The NE part of Colorado is still under a Tornado watch.  There is a Moderate risk of severe weather also for the same area.  

    If severe weather occurs in your area-

    This is the time right now to plan what to do for a tornado and make sure you have a NOAA weather alert radio The radios can alert you when a tornado warning is issued at night while sleeping.

    A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop and you should pay close attention to the weather. A watch it typically issued with in 2-3 hours of the event.

    When a tornado warning is issued that means doppler radar has detected rotation in a storm or trained spotters have spotted a rotating wall cloud, funnel cloud, or a tornado on the ground.

    If a tornado warning is issued for your area, do not panic. Go to a place of safety. Go to the lowest floor of your house like the basement. Once in the basement get under a sturdy piece of furniture or go into a bathroom in the basement. If no basement is available go in to an interior room such as a closet. If that is not available go in to an bathroom without windows. Stay away from outside walls and windows. Cover your head to protect from flying debris. Never try to out run a tornado in a car, if cought in a car and can not take no place of safety, lay down in a ditch and cover your head. Do not take cover under a over pass. Do not stay in mobile homes as they do not offer protection and can be flown as easily as cars can.

  2. Tornado's show up almost any where........You can never tell.

  3. go to the mountains.....

    Steamboat Springs!!!

  4. Centennial , nothing but clear skies here, (that's south of Aurora by the way)

  5. Good skies in Parker. but really tornados are very unpredictable and the chances of a tornado touching down today are slim
