Yesterday was another low to moderate flood threat day across Southern Colorado, and heavy rain and flooding did not take long to materialize. In the late morning high-based, isolated<\/span> thunderstorms began to fire up in the San Juan and Southeast Mountains, tapping into available monsoonal moisture and diurnal heating. Storms increased in coverage and intensity as the afternoon progressed, as well as development on the Raton Ridge and Southeast Plains. By evening, the most intense storms were along the Southern Front Range, west of Colorado Springs, and spilling onto the Urban Corridor and Palmer Ridge.<\/p>\n Now for the heavy rain and flood reports:<\/p>\n Severe thunderstorms<\/span> and heavy rain resulted in a flash flood<\/span> over Highway 24 east of Florrissant last night. A trained spotter in the area reported 2.65 inches of heavy rain and a nearby MesoWest gage in Divide<\/span> reported 2.61 total. There could be some hail contamination with these precipitation totals, because there was enough pea-sized hail to accumulate and crush some patio furniture in Divide<\/span>.<\/p>\n #cowx<\/a> @NWSPueblo<\/a> #pubspotter<\/a> TE67 lots of pea sized hail in Divide<\/span>.
