Summary:
Storms did not wait long to develop on Wednesday with activity beginning before noon west of the Divide and around noon to the east. As with the past few days, individual storms only lasted about 30 minutes or so, which helped to limit rainfall in any one area. The highest observed 24-hr total was 1.32 inches in Clear Creek County. About a dozen official reports over 1 inch were received from Elbert, Boulder, Jefferson and Larimer counties. Meanwhile, quite a few areas, both east and west of the Divide, received from 0.75 to 1 inch.
In the Grand Junction area, a few thunderstorms were able to maintain enough strength to develop hail. Many reports of pea-size hail were received, and even one report of 1 inch hail right in the vicinity of Grand Junction itself.
