Stormy morning & afternoon for some Thursday
TODAY: A few storms could develop across our southern mountains and the Raton Mesa this morning and afternoon bringing chances for small hail (>1" diameter) and high wind gusts 50-60 MPH. That's all due to wrap around moisture from a low pressure system moving east from New Mexico to Texas.

We dry out for the most part by 8:00 p.m. across Colorado with clearing skies overnight and lows in the 40s and 50s for most lower lying areas.
