Summary:<\/h3>\n

Numerous<\/span> thunderstorms produced heavy rainfall yesterday as high values of atmospheric moisture and a mid-level disturbance outdueled the upper-level ridge. Slow storm motions exacerbated the effect of heavy rain, allowing storms to dump rain over the same location for extended periods of time. Flash flooding<\/span> was reported to the National Weather Service in multiple locations, including a mud flow on that closed Highway 285 just south of mile marker 148 in Chaffee County. Additionally, flood waters off of the Hayden Pass Burn Scar flooded a campground SW of Coaldale where residents and the campground were evacuated along County Road 6 (Fremont County). Further east over the plains, 2-3 feet of water covered the underpass at the intersection of Highway 287 and Highway 96 (street flooding was also observed in Eads).<\/p>\n

Here is a quick listing of the heavy rain and flash flood<\/span> reports submitted to the National Weather Service yesterday:<\/p>\n
