Up to another inch of rain, with locally heavier amounts, is forecast to fall on already saturated areas of the eastern San Juans and the Upper Rio Grande Valley through late tonight. This additional rainfall could quickly lead to life threatening flooding, road washouts, damage to infrastructure, rock, mud, or debris slides on roadways, or fast moving water through waterfront parks and campgrounds in nearby creeks, streams, tributaries, and rivers. Hikers and campers should avoid waterways today, and especially tonight, as flooding and evacuation can be extremely dangerous during the nighttime hours. Please have a way to receive life saving Flood Warnings today and tonight if you are in this area, and never drive through moving water! Road closures were in effect Tuesday morning over parts of the San Juans. Please monitor the CDOT web sites for updated road conditions, or dial 5-1-1 for roadway information. Snow is expected for elevations above 10,000 feet today, with snow levels rising to 12,000ft during the daytime hours, and falling back down to 10,000 feet this evening. Roads are likely to remain mainly wet throughout the daytime, but may become snow covered at night and early this morning. Snow amounts on grassy surfaces are expected to be generally less than an inch through today and tonight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible Wednesday across the Southwest mountains and San Luis Valley on Wednesday. Strong to severe storms will be possible over the far southeast plains on Thursday. Damaging winds to around 60 mph and hail around 1 inch in diameter will be the primary storm risks both days. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible with the more intense storms which may lead to a continued elevated risk of flash flooding across the eastern San Juan mountains where soils are saturated from recent heavy rains. Snow levels will continue to waver between 10000 and 12000 feet with a slushy inch or two possible across the higher elevations at times. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely over portions of the region. Hodanish
