Bad Weather In Deer Trail

Hail falls SE of Byers & in Deer Trail
While severe weather headlines May 26 mostly revolved around the northeastern portion of Denver metro, southeastern parts of the 1-70 Corridor had their fair share of extreme weather anomalies.
Deer Trail and Cottonwood Estate residents both reported funnel clouds that threatened the area and dropped pea-, grape-, and golf ball-sized hail.
In one instance, a funnel cloud hovering over homes along First Avenue in Deer Trail around 7 p.m. dropped towards the ground but didn't touch down.
"It was right above our house when its belly appeared to drop toward us," said resident Donna Brannon. "It was very ominous and a very close call. It forced me down to the basement."
Reports from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network indicate the heaviest hail was about 8 miles south-southeast of Byers. Accumulations were from 2-5 inches.
"It really came down a couple of different times, the second time a lot bigger and lot harder," said

Deer Trail resident Linda Mergl. "I thought my tomatoes and other plants in the garden would be crushed, but they actually seem to look pretty good coming out of it."
A Byers resident said an approximately mile-long portion of Ridge Road north of the Chaparral subdivision received several inches of hail and could have been snowplowed.
"It looked like a heavy snowstorm hit just that little spot," she said.

Cars, homes and people were all battered and bruised during Wednesday's storms that hit northeast areas of the Denver metro area.
Weather reports included golf ball- and baseball-size hail, tornadoes and residual strong winds that stripped trees of bark and limbs, broke car windshields, damaged roofs and sidings on homes, and, in one instance, removed a garage roof.
The Denver area and Eastern Plains remained under thunderstorm and tornado watches and warnings most of Wednesday. Roads were flooded in areas around Hudson and Keenseburg, 35 miles northeast of Denver, where up to 2 inches of rain fell in 45 minutes.
The area around 152nd Avenue and Imboden Road northwest of Bennett was reportedly hit with hail and strong winds, but reports of a tornado touching down were not confirmed.
Denver International Airport experienced 30- to 60-minute delays Wednesday afternoon because severe weather limited use of its six runways. Airport spokeswoman Laura Jackson said planes were taking off on two runways and arriving on just one.
No tornadoes touched down on airport property, she said. June is the worst month in the summer for tornado in Colorado, so look in the sky for dark clouds formation and rotation that can spoon a tornado in your area.
