What the National Weather Service wrote

Snowmelt produced a washout on National Forest System Road (NFSR) #704-Condemn-It park road located at mile post 1.5 south of West Muddy Guard Station in the Paonia Ranger District. The road was not passable and remained closed.

The wider storm

Accelerated snowmelt from a near-record snowpack due to above normal temperatures and precipitation produced high and fast flow on drainages in several west-central counties. As a result, flooding compromised various low-lying roads in the counties.
