DENVER -- Funnel clouds were spotted in downtown Denver near Coors Field Sunday, prompting people attending the Colorado Rockies game to be moved from the stadium seats to the concourses.

"I saw the funnel cloud starting to settle in, and then they called the game and told us we needed to go down," said Boyce White, a Rockies fan visiting Denver from Florida. "I've been here 15 days and I think it's rained 16 of them."

A tornado watch was issued for the Denver metro area and warning sirens started blasting at about 3 p.m. Sunday.

A small funnel cloud appeared near Speer and Broadway around 2:40. The funnel cloud lasted a few minutes before dissipating. It never formed into a full tornado nor touched the ground.

The Rockies game against the Seattle Mariners was delayed for 55-minutes because of the severe weather.

7NEWS reporter Tyler Lopez said the fans evacuated inside the stadium to get out of the weather. The funnel cloud was visible from the stadium, Lopez said.

A tornado watch is in effect for the Front Range urban corridor and the eastern plains until 9 p.m.

This watch includes communities along the Interstate 25 corridor, including Fort Collins and Denver.

Tornadoes, baseball size hail, wind gusts to 70 mph, and dangerous lightning are possible within the watch area.

The best chance for severe thunderstorms will be east of the urban corridor and also across the Palmer Divide.

Expect periods of heavy rain, hail, and gusty winds with these storms.

Temperatures will remain stable in the 80s through the week, but on Thursday storm chances will increase again as a low pressure system moves out of the Pacific and into Colorado.

These wonderful temperatures will stick around into next weekend, supplying more typical weather for the month of June.

We remain in severe weather season through the month of June, so always be aware of your surroundings and be able to take cover in a safe place.
