Summary:<\/h3>\n

There was an early start to the rainfall yesterday, especially in the Northern and Central Mountains. Flood advisories and flash flood<\/span> warnings were issued across the state, including several fire burn scars. Cameron Peak, East Troublesome, Grizzly Creek, and Spring Creek have been especially vulnerable this year as they were recent fires, but Hayman-Teller, High Park, and Lake Christine burn scars also had heavy rain and flood warnings issued.<\/p>\n

I-70 has remained closed after damaging debris flows this past weekend near the Grizzly Creek burn scar<\/strong>, and additional rain yesterday was likely unhelpful in the cleanup effort. Matt Minnillo shared the following screen grab of a CDOT<\/span> road camera from yesterday which shows water flowing over the interstate again. Over an inch of rain fell near Dotsero yesterday.<\/p>\n

More water and debris flowing onto I-70 in the Grizzly Creek burn scar area. Nothing new, just interesting to see live on traffic cams. #cowx<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/chds6viOzj<\/a><\/p>\n
