Episodes

June 19, 2021

During the evening hours, a large line of storms moves across eastern Colorado producing a swath of damaging wind gusts up to 100 mph across Yuma, Kit Carson, and Cheyenne counties. These strong winds caused damage to trees and powerlines in Yuma county. The greatest amount of damage was in western Yuma County where damage costs estimated around 1 million dollars due to the number of power poles blown down.

May 2, 2021

Discrete thunderstorms formed along the Colorado Front Range, moving east across the state. As the storms moved across Yuma and Kit Carson counties, outflow from the storms produced up to 100 mph wind gusts that caused blowing dust to reduce visibility to one-quarter mile at times. The strong winds also knocked down a few powerlines in far northern Yuma County.

June 9, 2020

Around midnight a northward moving thunderstorm produced wind gusts strong enough to blow power poles down in both Yuma and Washington Counties. After the storm moved through, the unseasonably strong winds continued for a third day in a row over East Central Colorado. What makes this more unusual is the high winds started after midnight, which does not even occur when winds of this magnitude are more common. The peak high wind gust was in Cheyenne County of 83 MPH near Firstview.

June 6, 2020

A high wind gust of 59 MPH occurred at the Burlington airport. Meanwhile to the northwest a line of thunderstorms caused a power outage in the Yuma area. As the thunderstorms continued southeast and weakened, they produced wind gusts near Bethune strong enough to cause near zero visibility in blowing dust.

May 20, 2020

A heat burst occurred in NW Yuma County. The local mesonet stations recorded rising temperatures with strong wind gusts. Damage from the event included displaced hay bales, a broken power pole, and a destroyed farm outbuilding occurred near Joes, Colorado. An AWOS station (K2V6) at the Yuma Municipal Airport observed sustained southerly winds at 38 mph gusting to 47 mph as pressure fell 4.7 millibars. The dewpoint also fell from 32 F to 4 F as the temperature rose 13 degrees from 64 F to 77F. The data observed is that of a classic Heat Burst signature.
