The cloud cover limited instability, which resulted in showers and weak thunderstorms that didn&rsquo;t produce much more than light rain. The exception was across far eastern Colorado, where a bit more sunshine combined with a surface convergence zone to develop stronger thunderstorms. One thunderstorm in particular reached severe threshold by producing 1.5 inch hail, 12 miles N of Burlington (Kit Carson County).<\/p>\n<p>As far as rainfall observations are concerned, most locations reported less than 0.1 inches of rainfall.
