What the National Weather Service wrote

A peak wind gust of 63 MPH was measured by the automated Mesonet weather station 3 miles north-northwest of Hotchkiss.

The wider storm

A midlevel shortwave trough trekked across the Northern Rockies beneath a weakening ridge. This feature tapped into the already present monsoonal moisture to produce scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. The stronger storms produced gusty winds in excess of 60 mph across portions of west-central Colorado.

Began near Hotchkiss (38.8500, -107.7400).
