What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy rain resulted in urban flash flooding south-southwest of Rifle. A trained weather spotter reported gutters overflowing and flooding on roadways.

The wider storm

Abundant monsoon moisture remained in place across the Western Slope. As a result, another round of widespread showers and thunderstorms developed across the area with many storms producing heavy rain. This led to several reports of flash flooding and debris flows across portions of west-central and southwest Colorado.
