Massive Hail Pummels The State This Week In Severe Thunderstorms

It's been one hail of a week across the state of Colorado.

June once again has brought some wild thunderstorms across much of the state, and this week has been full of massive hail across the front range and eastern plains.

Marble sized hail hit Berthoud the other day, while much larger hail hit Fort Morgan out east, and even down south around the Springs experienced some of the largest hail ever seen in the state.

Fort Morgan experienced golf ball sized hail that damaged vehicles, broke windows and caused a whole ton of other damage.

Down around Colorado springs, there was literally hail the size of lemons and ping pong balls that fell at times.

Fort Collins and Denver each make the list for some of the largest hail ever recorded, with GRAPEFRUIT sized hail pummeling Fort Collins way back in 1979, while softball sized hail hit Denver back in 1990, causing then hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage, estimated to be over a $1 billion in today's money.

What exactly is happening with the weather this week? In a nutshell - or a hailstone - warm, moist air is pushing up across the United States from the Gulf off the Texas coast, while heavy, cold winds are blowing west to east at high altitudes across the Rocky Mountain region.

The two are colliding right around where the mountains meet the plains - aka our "front range" and foothills area across the state, then organizing into huge thunderstorms that roll across the eastern half of the state.

What that means for the rest of this week... hail if I know!
