The episode as NWS PUB wrote it up.
The runoff across the Pikes Peak Region sent a flood wave down Fountain Creek and adjacent drainages into the Arkansas River. The flood wave traveled down Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River through Pueblo County on the 12th through the 14th. It then continued down the Arkansas River through Otero County on the 15th through the 17th. The river flooding that occurred was mostly minor, mainly affecting agricultural lands. The Oxford Ditch in Otero County overflowed on to rural roads due to high flows in the Arkansas River on the 16th. Additionally, some low lying residential lands and part of Highway 194 east of La Junta flooded on the 17th. No fatalities or major property damage to structures occurred.

LATEST FORECAST MODELS ARE SHOWING THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...SO HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH THRU 18Z FOR EL PASO AND TELLER COUNTIES WHERE SOILS ARE ALREADY SATURATED AND THERE WILL BE A THREAT TO THE WALDO CANYON AND BLACK FOREST BURN SCARS. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 349 AM MDT FRI SEP 13 2013 RAIN COVERAGE OVR THE SERN PLAINS HAS DECREASED AND HAS BECOME LIGHTER...WHILE PCPN OVR WESTERN PORTIONS HAS INCREASED TONIGHT WITH GENERALLY LIGHT TO SOMETIMES MODERATE RAIN BEING REPORTED OVER THE WEST FORK COMPLEX BURN SCAR. PCPN CONTINUES TO WORK ITS WAY NORTHWARD FROM NM SO WL KEEP POPS IN THE LIKELY CATEGORY ACRS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE MORNING HOURS. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT PCPN THAT FALLS OVER EL PASO AND TELLER COUNTIES...WHERE THE MOST SATURATED CONDITIONS ARE...WL MOSTLY BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE SO CANCELED THE FF WATCH FOR THE I-25 CORRIDOR AT 3 AM. THE UPR LOW WL CENTERED NR THE NV...UT AND ID BORDER REGION THRU MUCH OF THE DAY. IT THEN BEGINS TO SHIFT EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AS IT PHASES WITH AN UPR TROF WELL TO THE NORTH. THERE WL STILL BE A PLUME OF MSTR OVR THE FORECAST AREA...ALONG WITH GOOD CHANCES FOR PCPN...BUT ALL MODELS ARE SHOWING EXPECTED PCPN AMOUNTS BEING ON THE LIGHTER SIDE TODAY.
