The one and only time this year when there was a proper monsoonal tap over southern Colorado. In this case, there was weak northweserly flow aloft, and southeasterly flow at the surface, which resulted in a unstable and high shear environment. There was almost a tornado that touched down, however, no reports of debris or damage were reported.
