A rather anomalous upper low (by mid-June standards) was centered
across western Wyoming and lifted north into Montana on June 13. A spoke of mid level potential vorticity swung around the base of the trough across in Colorado. This interacted with a formidable 250mb jet streak on the order of 80-90 knots and a dryline, which created convection initiation and severe storms.
