Just after 1:30 p.m., the National Weather Service (NWS) was tracking a strong thunderstorm 5 miles east of Arapahoe Park in Aurora (this is 23 miles east of Denver) that was headed northeast at 15 mph.

Multiple 9NEWS viewers spotted a funnel cloud over Aurora that quickly dissipated.

A second funnel cloud formed near Elizabeth. 

Neither of these funnels reached the ground, so did not become tornadoes. 

A landspout tornado was reported in Sterling.

We expect more spring storms Tuesday, though those are projected to be weaker.
