00:00I agree with the storm chaser meteorologist Tony Laubach says it's a

00:03fitting way to move into the final week of May after what's already been a very

00:06active month for severe storms. May is the climatological peak of severe weather

00:13season and this May certainly has lived up to the building with multiple severe

00:16weather events over the last couple of weeks that have included some impactful

00:20even deadly tornadoes across the central part of the United States. That severe

00:23weather threat continues today albeit on a much lower level and I will be

00:27tracking storms here in my backyard in northeast Colorado. We're expecting

00:31development throughout the afternoon and evening with storms moving southeast

00:34across the northeast corner of the state. Cities like Sterling, Julesburg, Akron,

00:38Ray, Yuma, even Burlington getting in on the act as those storms will eventually

00:43work their way into western Kansas as we get later into the overnight hours

00:46tonight. I will be tracking those storms throughout the day today and setting up

00:50for what might be a cooler than normal weekend here along the Colorado front

00:54range. Areas from Denver north could be looking at cooler temperatures and

00:58dreary conditions unfortunately for the Memorial Day weekend which may hinder

01:01some of your outside plans but the good news that should mitigate the severe

01:04weather threat just a little bit but it is still May so you want to make sure

01:08you've got that AccuWeather app handy and have multiple ways to receive

01:11warnings just in case one of those storms gets a little rowdy in your neck of

01:14the woods. Stay weather aware this holiday weekend and most of all be safe
