... The Arroyo and small stream flood advisory remains in effect until 900 PM MDT for north central Grand County...
At 432 PM MDT... National service Doppler radar continued to show moderate to heavy rainfall from a thunderstorm over north central Grand County... in the vicinity of Steer Ridge and east Willow Creek.
Radar has estimated in excess of 2 inches of rainfall so far in some locations of north central Grand County.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause elevated levels on small creeks and streams... and ponding of water on country roads and farmland along the banks of creeks and streams.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground.
Do not underestimate the power of flood waters. Only a few inches of rapidly flowing water can quickly carry away your vehicle.
