Abstract

On the afternoon of 3 June 1981 a severe thunderstorm spawned two tornadoes which moved across a portion of metropolitan Denver. The tornadoes were classified as strong F2 intensity, and caused damage totaling over $15 million. The synoptic-scale setting for this event was similar to that associated with many other occurrences of severe convection in eastern Colorado, with post-frontal southeasterly upslope flow at low levels and southwesterly flow aloft in advance of an approaching trough.-from Authors
