STORMY SATURDAY WEATHER EVIDENT ON BOTH SIDES OF DIVIDE
A Pacific weather disturbance moved out of Utah and across most of Colorado Saturday. Ahead of the system, severe thunderstorms dropped hail of 1.00-2.00 inches in diameter across an area from Fort Morgan south to Limon and east to the Kansas border. Rainfall reports and estimates support rains of 0.50 inch to 1.25 inches in the storm area.
Along the Front Range, dry southwesterly breezes "cut the updrafts off" from moist air needed to produce rain. Only traces to less than 0.15 inch of rain were reported. West of the Divide, thunderstorms were more vigorous along and north of the I-70 corridor with reports of 0.50-inch hail from Mesa County, winds gusts of 40mph mixed with rain, snow and graupel from Routt and Rio Blanco counties. South of I-70, the active cloud-to-ground lightning was reported with brief periods of gusty winds 30-40mph as thunderstorms crossed most counties from noon to sunset.
NO REPORTS OF FLOODING WERE RECEIVED.
Map Update: Our forecasters will continue to monitor weather conditions over all of Colorado's burn areas throughout the summer.
