More severe storms for southern Colorado

Storms with damaging winds and hail hit southern Colorado hard on Monday afternoon (8/10). Hail from the size of quarters to ping-pong balls blasted northern Colorado Springs during the dinner hour, while upwards of half an inch of rain fell in 15 minutes (.53" Briargage and .66" in Stetson Hills).

Then severe storms moved southeastward into northeastern Pueblo and northwestern Crowley counties during the 9 o'clock hour.

Other severe storms were reported in central Las Animas county.

It's a combination of lots of water in the air, and the tail end of a cold front up against the mountains to act as a trigger. Fortunately no tornadoes reported.
