Summary:
Compared to Thursday, Friday saw a significant decrease in both the intensity and coverage of thunderstorm activity across Colorado. West of the Divide, storms fired by early afternoon with scattered downpours across the San Juan and Grand Valley regions. However, the total rainfall amounts were limited to below about 0.7 inches. A few reports of small hail were also noted with the strongest storms.
East of the Divide, storms took most of the day to get organized and, in fact, the heaviest rainfall was observed within a few hours after sunset. Some impressive lightning producers were seen across the Urban Corridor but rainfall amounts were generally light. The one exception was a storm in Larimer County that produced about 1 inch of rain over a very isolated area. All other reports were much lower.
