\nIssue Time: 9:00 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

It was an active day across eastern Colorado as scattered<\/span> thunderstorms rumbled, generally moving from north\/northwest to south\/southeast. The most intense storm(s) of the day occurred over the Northeast Plains, producing severe winds and large hail, along with flash flooding<\/span> (more on this in the final paragraph). Much attention surrounded the severe thunderstorm<\/span> that moved across the Denver metro area during the afternoon, in which hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter was reported. Strong winds blew down trees, while heavy rain generated underpass and intersection ponding\/flooding. Additionally, 4 people had to be rescued from high water along Cherry Creek Trail.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, across western Colorado, monsoonal moisture began to creep into the region, setting off isolated<\/span>-to-scattered<\/span> showers\/thunderstorms. Most activity was garden variety, with lightning and gusty winds being the most notable effects. Locally moderate rainfall attended the strongest storms, relatively speaking.<\/p>\n
