Flood Watch issued September 27 at 10:27AM MDT until September 30 at 6:00AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of Colorado, including the following areas, Animas River Basin, Four Corners/Upper Dolores River, Northwest San Juan Mountains, Paradox Valley/Lower Dolores River, San Juan River Basin, Southwest San Juan Mountains and Uncompahgre Plateau and Dallas Divide and southeast Utah, including the following areas, Canyonlands/Natural Bridges, La Sal and Abajo Mountains and Southeast Utah. * WHEN...From Monday morning through late Tuesday night. * IMPACTS...Flooding will be possible over burn scars, at low-water crossings, and along creeks, streams, washes, arroyos and other flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Unpaved roads could become muddy and impassable. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Periods of heavy rainfall, associated with remnant moisture from Hurricane Polo, are expected to produce numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms. Heavy rain falling on saturated soils and burn scars could lead to localized flash flooding and rises on local rivers. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

Hydrologic Outlook issued September 27 at 1:01PM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO ESFGJT Strong southwesterly winds ahead of a closed low centered over California will pull tropical moisture from Tropical Storm Odalys and Hurricane Polo towards eastern Utah and western Colorado, with atmospheric moisture peaking in our area on Monday. The northerly extent of the expected excessive rainfall poses a threat to our southern San Juan river basins. Current forecasts suggest 1 to 4 inches of rain Monday morning through early Wednesday. At face value, rivers and tributaries will see a rise due to the forecast rainfall. However, localized heavier amounts could result in flooding across the southern San Juan foothills and communities further downstream. Rivers have responded rapidly to recent rainfall due to saturated soils and increased runoff potential. Thus, prolonged periods of additional rainfall over these regions would trigger a similar response. The current precipitation forecast suggests larger peaks in several creeks and rivers than what has been recently observed. However, high end probabilistic rainfall amounts (i.e. above 90th percentile) may lead to rivers exceeding action stage to minor flooding. Most probable basins to see significant rises include; the Rio Blanco, San Juan, Piedra, Los Pinos/Vallecito Creek, and the Animas River Basins. Convective storms and periods of heavy rainfall fed from said tropical moisture could result in localized flooding impacts across the CWA, however, confidence decreases rapidly north of the San Juans. Confidence has increased enough for a Flood Watch to be issued for southern portions of the forecast area valid from 6am Monday through 6am Wednesday. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts especially for those who reside and/or plan to recreate in the Watch areas.
