The upper-level ridge to our southeast weakened some on Sunday, allowing increased monsoonal moisture across the state and wider coverage of precipitation. Storms developed over the mountains by mid-afternoon, with some cells able to track into the lower elevations of the Northeast Plains later in the day. Rain generally fell along and north of I-70; QPE<\/span> data suggests the heaviest rain fell across Weld, Morgan, and Washington Counties, with localized amounts up to 3”.<\/p>\n West of Denver, two Flash Flood<\/span> Warnings were issued along I-70, including one for the Grizzly Creek burn scar, although flooding on the scar itself could not be confirmed. The Colorado Department of Transportation temporarily closed portions of I-70 as a precaution, while flash flooding<\/span> was observed in Glenwood Springs off of Transfer Trail Road, per video posted to Twitter:<\/p>\n Flash flooding<\/span> captured in Glenwood Springs, CO off of Transfer Trail Rd after some big storms rolled in.
