CWG Live updates: Storms later today could be severe; big heat wave starts Sunday
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Temperatures rise quickly through the 80s under sunny morning skies. Afternoon highs in the low 90s and high humidity fuel late afternoon and evening storms that could become severe. What's next? Friday is much calmer with highs in the 80s under sunny skies. Heat builds over the weekend and highs may approach 100 by early next week. Today's daily digit — 4/10: Heat and humidity build setting off potentially severe storms, downpours, and gusty winds. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Thursday): Lots of sun warms the area quickly and humidity is high (dew points in low 70s) amid moderate breezes from the southwest. Highs should reach the lower 90s before clouds build and set off potentially severe thunderstorms heading into the evening. Look out for heavy downpours and the potential for damaging winds. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Storms are likely in the evening before moving off around sunset in our eastern areas. Lows drop into the 60s with clearing skies. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Friday): A northwest breeze should start to lower the humidity (dew points dropping into the low 60s) but abundant sunshine pushes highs into the mid- to upper 80s. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: The evening is pleasantly less humid with readings falling from the lower 80s to upper 70s. The summer solstice arrives at 10:42 p.m. with overnight lows in the mid- to upper 60s.

Plenty of sun is on the docket before a mostly clear night and lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium-High The heart of the heat, building in the middle of the country, stretches into the Mid-Atlantic by Sunday. Expect plenty of sun and highs in the mid-90s or so as humidity levels become more uncomfortable (dew points near 70). Confidence: Medium-High Monday and Tuesday are mostly sunny and oppressively hot with highs around 95 to 100, while high humidity (dew points in the low 70s) makes it feel like 100 to 110. Muggy nighttime lows only slip into the 70s to near 80.

Storm damage in Teller County
(TELLER COUNTY, Colo.) — After a tornado warning was issued and expired for parts of Teller County on Tuesday afternoon, June 17, FOX21 News received several photos and videos of a funnel cloud spotted during the severe weather. Our crews spoke with a homeowner in Divide off County Road 5, who said he believes the storm started in his backyard. While the homeowner did not want to go on camera, our crews were allowed onto his property to get a closer look at the damage, where several downed trees were scattered across his backyard. Our crews also spoke with Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell, who said the sheriff's office is mapping about 15 and a half acres of damage across the county. Sheriff Mikesell said that while there is property damage, most of what his deputies are seeing is downed trees. According to the sheriff's office, deputies will continue to work in the areas impacted by the severe weather, and county workers have also been deployed to clear fallen trees and other debris blocking roads.

Active weather season: How often do tornadoes happen in Colorado?
(COLORADO) — The Centennial State has been having some pretty active weather as summer approaches. It's been a couple of weeks of severe weather, combined with rain and even hail — a common occurrence for Colorado in the summer. Colorado is not a stranger to tornadoes. According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, on average, the state experiences 53 tornadoes annually. Tornadoes have been reported as early as February and as late as November in Colorado; however, the tornado threat increases between May and August. In 2025, Colorado saw several tornadoes across the state, with most occurring east of I-25. In May, multiple tornadoes were spotted east of Denver, with four confirmed on May 18 alone — two of them were rated at an EF2, which estimates winds at 111-135 mph. Common tornado myths debunked Most recently, Southern Colorado had one tornado touch down in Divide. FOX21 Meteorologist Megam Montero said that while higher terrain tornadoes are less frequent, they are not unheard of; an example is the EF1 tornado that happened in 2023 over Pikes Peak. Tornadoes can happen anywhere if the ingredients are in the atmosphere. Check out the Divide funnel cloud here: According to NWS Pueblo, 95% of tornadoes occur along and east of I-25. While large tornadoes are not as common along the Colorado Front Range as they are across the Plains, they are possible, given the right conditions. The storm over Divide on Tuesday, June 17, left several downed trees and other debris. Teller County Sheriff (TSCO) Jason Mikesell said the sheriff's office mapped about 15 and a half acres of damage across the county. Storm damage in Teller County Affected areas in Teller County included North of Woodland Park off Highway 67, County Road 5, County Road 25, and the Trout Creek area. 'Power lines are also down in some areas, and power crews are on their way,' TCSO said via Facebook. 'If you spot a downed power line, DO NOT APPROACH. If you have been affected and need assistance, call 9-1-1.' The National Weather Service will be conducting a storm damage survey on Wednesday, June 18. FOX21's Megan Montero will be joining them to learn more about the storm and the possible tornado. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tornado threat expands into parts of Michigan
A tornado watch was extended into Southwest Michigan early afternoon, specifically the counties of Berrien, Branch, Cass and St. Joseph where the watch will be in effect into 8 p.m. ET. There were waves of heavy rain and storm weather early in the day, including some strong thunderstorms that came through Oakland County in the early afternoon. June is considered the peak tornado season in Southeast Michigan. Watch vs. warning The National Weather Service says a severe weather watch means "be prepared." It is possible that weather will reach severe levels during the time frame specified. A severe weather warning means "take action," that severe weather conditions have been reported by spotters or can be detected on radar. People are asked to take shelter indoors, away from windows. Severe weather so far in 2025 2025 is already one of the busiest years for tornadoes in Michigan since modern record-keeping began in 1950. There were 28 tornadoes confirmed so far, including an outbreak in mid-May. So far, 1974 holds the top spot with 39 confirmed tornadoes, followed by 2001 with 35 confirmed tornadoes, according to CBS News Detroit's NEXT Weather team. Power outage reports Most electricity customers in southeast Michigan get their power from either Consumers Energy or DTE Energy. Both companies have online outage maps where people can look up the status of their neighborhood. "Our Storm Response Teams are ready to restore power as quickly and safely as possible," a DTE notice posted ahead of the storms said. "Please be safe and remember to stay at least 25 feet from any downed power lines — assume they are live and dangerous. Report any outage or downed line here."
