Thunderstorms will douse Colorado\u2019s Eastern Plains through and 8 p.m. Sunday, with hail up to 1 3\/4 inches in diameter expected, according to the weather service. That\u2019s roughly the size of a golf ball, according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, which is part of the same federal agency as the weather service.<\/p>\n

Wind gusts up to 60 mph and the \u201cpotential for an isolated short-lived tornado\u201d are also expected in the northeastern state, forecasters said. The main hazard will be the hail.<\/p>\n

\u201cDamaging winds\u201d are non-tornado winds that exceed 50 mph, according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory.<\/p>\n

Closer to Denver, Coloradans can expect thunderstorms and \u201cbeneficial rainfall\u201d from Sunday afternoon through Monday, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n

The threat of large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes will persist across the Eastern Plains through Monday, a hazardous weather outlook from the weather service stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cDamage to life and property is possible from severe storms,\u201d forecasters wrote in the outlook.<\/p>\n
