Tuesday saw extremely active weather across the state, with tornadoes, flooding, hail, and high winds. Showers and storms formed over the high terrain by early afternoon, with the most intense convection<\/span> developing over the southern Front Range and its foothills and building south-southeastward. A cool front tracking slowly southward across eastern Colorado provided surface convergence for convective initiation, while diurnal heating and orographic ascent also helped storms to build. The heaviest rainfall occurred east of the Divide<\/span>, along the I-25 corridor from Denver southward to Pueblo and then eastward across the Palmer Ridge and into Kit-Carson County.<\/p>\n Four Flood Advisories were issued for the greater Denver metropolitan area where 1-2” of rain was observed. Video posted to Twitter showed flooding on I-25 near the I-70 junction:<\/p>\n Major flooding on I-25 both directions in Denver. 1-2 feet of water in places and multiple stuck\/crashed cars #COwx<\/a> @NWSBoulder<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/7nJePa0PDt<\/a><\/p>\n — K y l e .
