Issue Date: Friday, July 24th, 2015
\nIssue Time: 9:00 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Upper-level high pressure built overhead yesterday, filtering drier air into much of Colorado. With drier air in place and no obvious disturbances to trigger storms, the result was a mostly sunny and hot day. Southern and Central Mountains experienced a couple isolated<\/span>, weak thunderstorms which produced more gusty winds and lightning than rain. Near the CO\/KS border, a few isolated<\/span> thunderstorms were generated by a surface trough<\/span> and a corridor of low-level moisture. These storms produced the best rain of the day, but the real story was the large hail. Check out the following storm reports:<\/p>\n

2 inch hail: 7 miles SSE of Bethune (Kit Carson County)
\n1.75 inch hail: 6 miles S of Burlington (Kit Carson County)
\n1.0 inch hail: 5 miles SSW of Burlington (Kit Carson County)<\/p>\n

Due to the large hail that fell from the storms near the CO\/KS border, those precipitation estimates have been contaminated and a bit over-estimated in the Storm Total Precipitation map below.<\/p>\n

No flash flooding<\/span> was reported.<\/p>\n
