There is a Flash Flood Watch in effect for this afternoon and evening.
The main concern will be flash floods, debris flow, and mudslides over and near the Decker, Spring, Hayden Pass, and Junkins burn scars as well as the Chalk Cliffs.
Stay weather aware and monitor the situation closely if you live in one of these areas.
Seek higher ground if needed if flash flooding occurs and do not drive through flooded roads.
Residents along Bear Creek, Chaffee County Road 101 and Fremont County Road 49, were warned last night to shelter in place due to heavy flooding and mudslides that has damaged roads in the area.
