Flood warnings on the Purgatoire, Arkansas Rivers: an inch and a half of rain on the wettest ground in a century

Two rivers in southeast Colorado carried flood warnings into Friday morning, and neither of them was fed by the mountains. The Purgatoire River near Las Animas crested at 10.46 feet about 2 p.m. Thursday, a foot and a half over minor flood stage, after rising from a trickle in a few hours before dawn. The Arkansas River at Lamar passed bankfull at 10.14 feet just after midnight Friday, with Prowers County emergency management reporting water in low ground along the river Thursday afternoon. The cause was a single night of rain, Wednesday into Thursday, that fell on ground still soaked from the wettest October the lower Arkansas Valley has recorded.

The 2026 high school softball season ended October 24 at Aurora Sports Park, where Lyons beat D'Evelyn 10-3 for the Class 3A title and Windsor beat Holy Family 6-2 in 4A. Three lower Arkansas Valley teams made the 16-team 3A field, Pueblo County reached the 4A semifinal, and the Southeast Colorado co-op of Wiley, McClave and Eads, a state semifinalist two years ago, missed the state field in its first season with McClave on the roster. Here is how the season went for each, from the Colorado High School Activities Association's scoreboards and brackets.
