Severe thunderstorms could bring the potential for 60 mph winds and quarter-sized hail falling Wednesday in south-central and southeast Colorado.

Storms will be possible this afternoon and evening along the Palmer Divide and southeastern plains, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The main threats will be found east of a line from Calhan to La Junta and Kim.

“We are monitoring northeast El Paso and Kiowa counties for the potential for severe storms capable of producing gusty winds up to 60 mph, and hail up to 1″ from 2 PM to 8 PM,” the NWS stated in an updated tweet Wednesday shortly after 12:30 p.m.

A weaker line of storms could develop this afternoon and evening across Brent and Baca counties.

Colorado is one of the most hail-prone states in the nation. Hail storms occur most frequently in June but can also fall as early as March or as late as October.

Hail stones of this size could cause damage to vehicles, as well as wind damage to roofs, siding, and trees.
