Cooler air began to slip into eastern Colorado on Sunday, 6/7/09, and the results were dramatic in the northern part of the state. At least 5 tornadoes were reported. One hit the Southlands Mall in Aurora. One tornado was reported 6 miles east of Lafayette, one south of Bennett; one south of Deer Trail and one north of Byers.
In addition the storms were strong enough to produce hail the size of baseballs in Arapahoe county.
The severe storms (and much of the cool air) avoided southern Colorado through Sunday afternoon, but the wind didn't. Some of the stronger gust reports are below.
Colorado Springs: 47 mph
Pueblo: 46 mph
Monarch Pass: 76 mph
Limon: 52 mph
La Veta Pass 49 mph
Canon City: 46 mph
La Junta 43 mph
Pueblo West 42 mph.
Temperatures across Colorado today ranged from 89 in Lamar and Springfield to 29 degrees in Leadville.
