The wider storm

The prolonged North American Monsoon pattern prevailed across western Colorado with abundant moisture present as precipitable water values trended to 170% of normal. Additionally, morning sunshine allowed the atmosphere to rapidly destabilize over the higher terrain. As a result, another round of strong thunderstorms developed across the region. One storm in Garfield County produced a funnel cloud.

Began near Allen (39.8900, -107.1200).
