Monsoonal moisture continued its push across Colorado in association with a mid-level trough<\/span>, provided enough fuel for scattered<\/span> thunderstorms along and over the High Country, with more isolated<\/span> coverage to the east. Fortunately, the timing of the trough<\/span> was not favorable for widespread<\/span> strong thunderstorms. Instead, storms relied mainly on the heat of the day to break the cap<\/span>, with very marginal instability available. This kept most showers and thunderstorms on the garden-variety side of the scale, with only a couple stronger thunderstorms producing pea-sized hail and brief heavy rain. No flash flooding<\/span> was reported, but street\/field ponding did occur under the strongest thunderstorms.<\/p>\n According to National Weather Service Local Storm Reports, pea-to-dime sized hail was reported 2 miles S of De Beque (Mesa County), and pea-sized hail with heavy rain was reported 2 miles N of Black Forest (El Paso County).
