A sudden storm dropped heavy rain and up to 4 inches of hail on the metro area, enough to turn streets white.
A tornado watch was issued for Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Elbert, Kit Carson, Lincoln, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgewick, Washington, Weld and Yuma counties until 8 p.m.
The National Weather Service said that rain and thunderstorms could continue over the urban corridor until 6 p.m. Rainfall rates of one quarter to three-quarters of an inch per hour were possible and could add to flooding caused by the earlier storm.
The hail piled up 4 inches deep at Elitch Gardens amusement park in downtown Denver, a spokeswoman said.
