Between radars now, hard to get a good look at it, but man that thing looked nasty. Any reports on whether or not Torrington was directly impacted? It looks like it was trending a bit east of Torrington from what I could see.

There are a number of structures/homes east of town along 26 and also the Torrington Airport.

Yep unfortunately it wasn't a mile further east, now its got tons of open land in front of it, but based on the track it had to have impacted homes and businesses and most likely the airport....also on google earth it looks like the schools were right in that area as well hopefully the kids where gone for the day.....

A long-shot, conditional threat tonight is across central to north-central Kansas. Forcing for ascent is rather weak, but there's no shortage of shear, higher dew-points, modestly backed winds, instability, etc. A couple of boundaries can be noted on radar and the LLJ should begin to crank. It might just be a little bit too late/out of sync to produce anything. I'll be curious to see what the 00z sounding from DDC looks like.

anyone know did the denver radar take a hit from the tornado that was VERY close to the radar site???

There's a possibility KFTG was hit by lightning. The only official information is:

Regarding tomorrow: here is a snippet from the mid-day SPC outlook (Enhanced) for tomorrow. It sounds like they could upgrade to moderate, but they have too much uncertainty regarding coverage of severe thunderstorms.

 

WITH A SIZABLE UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR...THE LARGE-SCALE PATTERN WOULD SEEM   TO FAVOR MORE SUBSTANTIAL POTENTIAL FOR A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK   THAN IS CURRENTLY INDICATED IN THE OUTLOOK GRAPHICS.  AS IT   IS...CONVECTION DOES SEEM LIKELY TO INITIATE ALONG THE DRYLINE   DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON...
