Minor debris flows occurred north of Durango off of Highway 550 as a result of heavy rain from thunderstorms.

The wider storm

A quick moving shortwave trough acted on residual monsoon moisture to fuel showers and thunderstorms over western Colorado. Storms were slow moving and produced heavy rain with a localized debris flow occurring in La Plata County. Additionally, outflow boundaries from decaying thunderstorms resulted in strong winds in Rio Blanco County with a gust of 58 mph, which met high wind criteria.

Began near Durango (37.3160, -107.8526).
