A slow moving tornadic supercell developed off the Colorado Front Range south of Denver and was a prolific hail producer and carried a tornado warning for over an hour as it drifted to the east toward Limon. Hail up to baseball size was reported, smashing out windshields and covering the roads.
Hail video shot in the town of Matheson about an hour northeast of Colorado Springs and the structure and cloud rotation was taken in Elbert, about 30 minutes southeast of Denver.
