One report of quarter size hail was sent by a trained spotter. The storm continued to move to the east-southeast before dissipating.
Across Costilla and Huerfano counties, heavy showers and storms moved in from the San Luis Valley. These storms rode up the west side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains impacting the Spring burn scar and then moved towards the east before dissipating across the Colorado plains.
