Substantial monsoon moisture remained over the area as high pressure drifted east over the Plains. As a result, widespread showers and thunderstorms developed with many storms producing heavy rain. This led to several reports of flash flooding and debris flows across portions of west-central and southwest Colorado. Additionally, severe thunderstorms produced large hail and strong winds in Mesa County.
