Summary:
A seasonably hot and dry day characterized the majority of Colorado’s weather yesterday as subsidence in the wake of Monday’s disturbance overspread the state. Precipitable Water values fell below an inch at the four normal reporting stations (Boulder, Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Shriever AFB), resulting in fairly low rain rates from any isolated showers/thunderstorms. It was a nice break after an active couple of days.
The Northeast Plains saw a strong, isolated thunderstorm impact Yuma County during the afternoon hours. The lone storm report of the day came from this storm, as it produced 1 inch hail 9 miles SSE of Beecher Island, at approximately 2:30 PM.
No flash flooding was observed.
