The weather service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of Colorado and Nebraska, which will remain in effect until 8 p.m. Tuesday. In Colorado, the watch covers Adams, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Crowley, Douglas, Elbert, El Paso, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Lincoln, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Pueblo, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld and Yuma counties.<\/p>\n

Isolated hail up to the size of ping-pong balls will be possible, forecasters said. That\u2019s roughly 1.5 inches in diameter, according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, which is part of the same federal agency as the weather service. Hail an inch in diameter or larger is considered severe.<\/p>\n
