Rainfall amount of 0.37 inches fell in 10 to 15 minutes causing minor street flooding in Fruita as drains could not keep up. Rates were 1 to 2 inch per hour.

The wider storm

A low pressure moving into the Great Basin with high pressure to the east allowed deeper sub-tropical moisture to increase across the area. The best moisture remained across southeast Utah and southwest Colorado with a later start to storm development due to morning cloud cover. Heavy rain occurred with some storms with minor street flooding occurring in Mesa County and Garfield County.

Began near Fruita (39.1602, -108.7432).
