Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

County Road 2 next to the USGS's Slater Fork gage south of the Wyoming/Colorado border had one lane closed due to flooding along Slater Creek.

The wider storm

Accelerated snowmelt from a near-record snowpack due to above normal temperatures produced high and fast flow on drainages in several counties across the Western Slope. As a result, flooding compromised various low-lying roads and areas. This included some lanes along I-70 west of Fruita, Colorado.

Began near Slater (40.9820, -107.3830).
