DENVER (CBS4) ― Sunday afternoon started with a bang. A thunderstorm that rained on Denver early on exploded over Commerce City dropping one to nearly two inches of rain in about 40 minutes and produced a tornado about 2.5 miles northeast of Commerce City around 2 p.m.

Later in the afternoon a long line of heavy thunderstorms pounded most of Denver and the surrounding suburbs with more heavy rain and lots of dangerous lightning.

Memorial Day may turn out to be just as stormy. The morning will start with patchy fog in some areas and then skies will go partly sunny.

Thunderstorms should fire up again, as early as noon. Some of the storms may contain heavy amounts of rain. The high will be a bit cooler, upper 60s to near 70 in Denver.
