Some of the storms across the Southeast Mountains and Raton Ridge produced extremely heavy rainfall rates. Flash Flood<\/span> Warnings were issued for portions of central\/south-central\/southeast Huerfano, western Las Animas, and east-central Costilla Counties, including most of the Spring Creek burn scar. Emergency management personnel reported flash flooding<\/span> along Highway 12 near mile marker 13, with the road closed due to water covering the highway; no debris flows were reported, however. The Indian Creek rain gauge on the burn scar measured 3.16” of rain in 54 minutes, which has an estimated ARI<\/span> of over 1000 years!<\/strong> A mesonet station near La Veta measured 1.53”, while a CoCoRaHS<\/span> observer near Walsenburg reported 1.30”.<\/p>\n Another Flash Flood<\/span> Warning<\/span> was issued for portions of southwest Fremont and northeast Saguache Counties, including portions of the Hayden Pass burn scar from 2016.

One cell south of Telluride prompted a Flash Flood<\/span> Warning<\/span> for portions of northwest San Juan and eastern San Miguel Counties, but no flooding was reported.<\/p>\n If you observe flooding in your area, remember to use the “Report a Flood” page to make any flood reports when you can safely do so.
