A dry line just west of the NM/TX border extended northward into far E CO, intersected with a cold front that slowly pushed south through KS. As an upper level low moved east out of southern California, moisture was drawn north from the Gulf of Mexico. This produced moderate to high instability with moderate levels of wind shear in the atmosphere. Storms developed as upper level disturbances moved across the area in advance of the upper storm system. Winds were oriented in a way which favored discrete storms initially during this event with large hail being the main threat.
