In a tweet, the Denver International Airport wrote that "nearby tornado warnings and weather" were "causing departure and arrival delays."
One social media user responded to an NWS Boulder tweet with a photo that appeared to show the tornado near the airport's tarmac.
The Weld County Government Twitter also posted updates, assuring that the Office of Emergency Management was working with local law enforcement to gather information on the damage from the tornado.
"Area tornado traveled was between Highway 66 and Weld County Road 42 between WCR 17 and 13. As of now only aware of one damaged home – fire caused by downed powerline," it said.
By 6:02 p.m. MT, the warning had expired.
