Southwest Colorado is out of drought for the first time since January. Now an atmospheric river is aimed at ground that cannot take more

A week after a flood that set records on the Piedra and the San Juan, the U.S. Drought Monitor map released Thursday, October 29, shows Dolores, San Juan, Mineral and Rio Grande counties with no drought at all for the first time since January, and La Plata County drought-free for the first time since the end of 2024. Archuleta County had already cleared on the October 20 map. The same week, the National Weather Service in Grand Junction issued a hydrologic outlook for a second Pacific storm, an atmospheric river due Sunday and Monday, and warned that the ground it will fall on is still saturated.

Rain breaks Friday, then more rain arrives this weekend

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KJCT) - Rain will diminish early Friday morning, and we’ll get a break to end the week. More rain is on the way for this weekend. A Flood Watch is in effect until noon Friday for southern Mesa County, southwest Montrose County, Montezuma County, La Plata County, Dolores County, San Miguel County, and San Juan county in Southwest Colorado and for southern Grand County and San Juan County in eastern Utah. Excessive rain and runoff can cause flooding and flash flooding. Burn areas from wildfires over the past few years will be especially prone to extremely dangerous flash flooding and debris slides. Rivers, creeks, and streams can also be highly prone to flash flooding. Even dry creeks into which rocky canyons feed can quickly become dangerous or even deadly. The risk exists in these areas and on nearby canyon roads and highways.
