Hail in Fremont County, Colorado
Hail July 20, 2023 · Fremont County, Colorado
Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
The wider storm
An upper level high pressure center was located over central Arizona and central New Mexico which resulted in a favorable pattern for efficient diurnal wind fluctuations including upslope oriented winds towards WFO Pueblo's eastern mountains. Weak waves embedded in the upper level northwesterly flow enhanced the lift and the pattern enhanced the deep shear. The result was a very rare mountainous tornado that was observed at around 9,000 feet.
Began near Canon City (38.4600, -105.1600).
