Most activity was fairly benign with rainfall up to 0.5 inches commonly seen. However, a few storms farther east caused large hail (up to 3 inches near the KS border!), a few tornadoes and heavy rainfall exceeding 1.5 inches per hour. Highest observed rainfall amounts were about 0.75 inches. However, in rural areas of Washington and Yuma counties, heavier rainfall likely occurred.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the precipitation, strong winds affected many locations yesterday. Some wind damage was observed over the Southwest Slope, while elsewhere wind gusts in the 45-60 mph range were common across higher elevation locations.<\/p>\n<p>For precipitation estimates in your area, check out our Precipitation Map below.
