What the National Weather Service wrote

A brief period of heavy rain produced flash flooding near the Weston Pass burn scar. The flooding impacted Park County Road 22 as well at U.S. Highway 285.

The wider storm

Severe thunderstorms brought large hail, strong winds and heavy rain to parts of Douglas, Logan, and Weld counties. The hail ranged in size from quarter to golf ball. Flash flooding also occurred near the Weston Pass burn scar in southwest Park County. The rain pushed mud, rock and debris down charred hillsides near Campground of the Rockies, south of Fairplay. The debris flow impacted Park County Road 22 and washed out a culvert under U.S. 285. The highway was closed for several days to replace a damaged culvert between Antero Junction and Fairplay.

Began near Garo Park (39.0800, -106.0300).
