What the National Weather Service wrote

COOP Observer reported hail of an estimated 0.88 inches, comparable to a Nickle, in the Orchard Mesa area southeast of Grand Junction on the afternoon of the 27th. This hail was reported to have caused damaged to crops within a roughly 2 mile radius.

The wider storm

Deep subtropical moisture increased across eastern Utah and western Colorado and combined with forcing from a strong low pressure trough digging across the Intermountain West to result in widespread severe thunderstorms. These storms produced severe wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain that resulted in flash flooding and debris flows.
