I chased in CO, as well as far northern NM around Raton. I managed to get on both clusters of severe storms in the southern blue box, though the second one was accidental.
This storm near Walsenburg, CO produced quarter-sized hail that accumulated to 4-6 inches in some locations:
Looking to my west, near the eastern edge of the mountains, under the main updraft:
I think these were more likely scud fingers than funnels under the lowered area, but need to review my video a little more to be more sure. This was quite some distance away from me; perhaps 10 miles, so it was hard to tell.
Storm, crepuscular rays, and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, looking west from Trinidad around 7 p.m.:
The storm in this picture actually had a SVR warning, although it did not look nearly as intense as the others in the area. Later, on the way back to Santa Fe after the chase, I noticed a sudden increase in the amount of lightning over the southern end of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains west of Las Vegas, NM. I had disconnected the computer since the earlier storms had died out, so was flying blind, but by the time I approached the Rowe/Pecos exit I knew I was about to encounter an intense storm. Right before the exit I hit heavy rain and hail, so I exited and along with a handfull of others took shelter from the hail on the shoulder of the road between Rowe and Pecos, under the underpass where I-25 crosses over it. This would be at the north edge of Rowe. There I watched and videotaped a 5-minute barrage of 1/4-1/2" hail that quickly covered the ground. It stopped for a while, then a second wave of hail hit, with less hail but a little larger, up to about dime size. When I moved on after the hail passed over, I-25 was covered with an inch or so of hail a couple miles west of the exit.
I will post a full report with more pics and possibly a short video clip as time permits in the next few days.

I was on the Ft. Morgan tonado warned cell. The slow moving cell allowed for many stills and a chance at time lapse. I will have more photos on my blod to come.
