(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — It was a wild day of weather on Monday, June 12 across Southern Colorado as a storm rolled through bringing everything from high-elevation snow to massive hail, and extreme flooding.
Cañon City was hammered with hail over 2″ in diameter. This spot got some of the largest hail during Monday’s storm. Other areas saw smaller hail, but a lot of it!
Check out FOX21 viewer pictures of hail around the region below:
The storm also brought intense rainfall rates, flash flooding, and rushing waters. Several inches of rain fell over short time frames, causing waters to surge and neighborhoods to flood.

The amount of rain we got from this storm was extremely impressive, especially across the Pikes Peak Region and Pueblo County.
Colorado Springs smashed old rain records for June 12, as 4″ of rain fell. The city also set a new two-day rain record, with nearly 5.5″ of rain from Sunday to Monday.
It was a very different scene across higher elevations, where snow fell on Monday. Check out the view from the Summit of Pikes Peak, where blizzard conditions occurred as heavy snow and strong winds took over.
