What the National Weather Service wrote

Flooding occurred at the Gypsum Valley Boat Launch as a result of increased snowmelt and flow along the Dolores River.

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.
