Summary:
The active June marched on with another day of scattered showers and thunderstorms, with stronger storms producing heavy rain. Although no flash flooding has been reported at this time, flood advisories/warning continue across the state. A few severe storms were mixed in, producing mainly large hail and heavy rainfall. As far as storm reports are concerned, there were only 2 that reached severe criteria:
1.75 inch hail: 3 miles S of Sterling (Logan County)
1.0 inch hail: Holyoke (Phillips County)
According to National Weather Service storm reports, there were a few heavy rain reports from southern Colorado, and a quick check of IPW observations shows why: Precipitable water values topped an inch in Pueblo and just below an inch in Colorado Springs, leading to very efficient rainfall production. For a statewide look at rainfall totals, be sure and check the radar-derived Storm Total Precipitation map below.
