Most of the threat is east of U.S. Highway 85, the weather service said. Rain showers will continue in the area through the evening.
This image from our Viaero camera in Ault, CO was taken at 6:06 PM. Maybe the beginning of the landspout tornado on the far left side! Warning came out 11 minutes later.
