   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Eastern Colorado

     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms, in the form of sustained
   multicells and a few transient supercells, are expected to develop
   along the foothills/I-25 corridor of eastern Colorado into southeast

   localized severe-caliber winds could also occur, particularly across
   east-central Colorado.

   statute miles east and west of a line from 75 miles north northeast
   of Laramie WY to 30 miles southeast of Pueblo CO. For a complete
