Portions of the Urban Corridor and Northeast Plains woke up to unusual early morning showers and thunderstorms Tuesday morning before quickly dissipating as the morning progressed. By afternoon, isolated<\/span> convection<\/span> began to fire up in the high elevations of the Northern, Central, Southeast, and Front Range Mountains before moving eastward. Storms became more widespread<\/span> and organized on the Urban Corridor, Palmer Ridge, Southeast Plains, and Raton Ridge as well, as they formed along a surface low located to the southeast of Colorado near the Oklahoma panhandle. Large hail and high winds were the main threats from severe thunderstorms<\/span>, but there was also plenty of moisture available for heavy rain.<\/p>\n In Colorado Springs, hail up to 1.25 inches was reported as Schriever AFB and there were several reports of heavy rain and minor street flooding across the city. Weather Nation shared the following video on twitter showing runoff from heavy rain. While some large, damaging hail was observed, most was smaller, pea-sized hail – just lots of it. Over 2 inches of hail was on the ground across Black Forest and Falcon, blanketing roads like snow, as seen in the tweet from Pueblo WFO<\/span>.<\/p>\n Heavy rain and hail hit the Colorado Springs area on Tuesday, and fortunately for this trash can, a car was there to prevent it from flowing down the road. #cowx<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/hQPolcYqZz<\/a><\/p>\n — WeatherNation (@WeatherNation) September 15, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
