The wider storm

Remnants from decaying Tropical Storm Harold slowly exited western Colorado. This continued abundant moisture resulted in widespread showers and thunderstorms across much of the region. Storms were slow moving and produced heavy rain. As a result of the heavy rain, some localized flooding occurred in Steamboat Springs in Routt County with debris flows reported in portions of Gunnison County.
