Summary:
With the strong upper-level high still centered over the central US, the flow aloft kept Colorado under the influence of a deep monsoonal moisture plume. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed around lunchtime, peaking in coverage and intensity during the late afternoon and evening hours. A few stronger thunderstorms produced gusty winds; powerlines were reported down in Yuma and 40-50 mph wind gusts were recorded across the High Country. No flash flooding was reported, however localized street/field ponding likely occurred underneath stronger thunderstorms.
