Summary:
Moisture remained fairly steady yesterday across Colorado, with the biggest change being a reduction in moisture over far western counties. A mid-/upper-level shortwave, combined with the presence of a weak cool front, kicked off another period of showers and thunderstorms. The best coverage occurred across northern Colorado, nearest the best support from the disturbance and cool front. The lone storm report came from Routt County, where 0.5 inch diameter hail fell and shredded rhubarb and zucchini leaves. Southern Colorado, especially lower elevations south of Highway 50, remained dry and mostly sunny.
