What the National Weather Service wrote

Portions of Rim Rock Drive in the Colorado National Monument experienced a minor debris flow as mud flowed on the road due to heavy rain from thunderstorms.

The wider storm

Monsoon moisture increased across the Four Corners region as a shortwave disturbance lifted overhead. This led to an uptick in shower and thunderstorm activity. Storms were slow moving and produced heavy rain which led to localized debris flows in portions of Mesa and Ouray counties. Additionally, moderate instability led to some stronger thunderstorms; one of which produced a funnel cloud in Dolores County.

Began near Redlands (39.0290, -108.6340).
