Debris Flow in Eagle County, Colorado

Strong thunderstorms sat over the Lake Christine Burn Scar with rain rates exceeding 1 inch per hour at times. As a result of heavy rain over the burn scar, there were reports of minor flooding in some townhomes. Additionally, the pedestrian underpass next to Whole Foods was filled with around 5.5 feet of water.

Abundant monsoon moisture remained across Western Colorado. This led to another round of showers and thunderstorms across much of the region. Storms were slow moving and produced heavy rain. As a result of the heavy rain, some flash flooding and debris flows occurred in Mesa and Eagle counties. Additionally, gusty outflow winds in excess of 58 mph occurred across portions of the Western Slope. The passage of a weak trough across northwest Colorado resulted in some stronger storms. One storm in Routt County produced a funnel cloud.
