Flood Watch - Eastern San Juan Mountains
A Flood Watch is in effect from Monday morning through late Tuesday night. Periods of heavy rainfall from a remnant tropical storm system will move across southwest Colorado starting Monday.
What this means: excessive runoff could cause flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying, flood-prone areas. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks.
This includes South Fork, Creede, and Wolf Creek Pass.
A few reminders to stay safe:
🔸 Never drive through flooded roadways. Turn around, don’t drown. Just a few inches of moving water can carry a vehicle away.
🔸 Move vehicles and equipment away from creeks, drainages, and low spots.
🔸 Stay alert to changing conditions, especially near burn scars where runoff moves faster.
🔸 Monitor later forecasts and be ready to act if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.
Please help us spread the word by telling a neighbor.
