Abundant monsoon moisture remained across Western Colorado. This led to another round of showers and thunderstorms across much of the region. Storms were slow moving and produced heavy rain. As a result of the heavy rain, some flash flooding and debris flows occurred in both Garfield and Eagle counties. Additionally, some stronger storms produced large hail up to an estimated inch in diameter near Carbondale.
