After the water: a collapsed bridge, a river rising again at the Four Corners, and Lake Powell 17 feet off its record low

Wednesday morning the San Juan River at Pagosa Springs was back inside its banks, the flood warnings for the Animas at Durango and the Rio Grande at Alamosa had expired, and the sky over the San Juan Mountains was clear for a second day. The accounting that began on Election Day now has numbers in it. The Piedra River bridge on U.S. 160 lost its piers and must be rebuilt. New Mexico counts 604 homes damaged or destroyed before the second storm and expects 2,000. Arizona has two dead in Flagstaff. And the San Juan at the Four Corners, where the last of the storm's water is draining out of three states, was rising again Tuesday night.

KVNF Regional Newscast: November 2, 2026

"Particularly dangerous" flooding hits southwest Colorado for the second time in just over a week. For the second time in just over a week, heavy rain flooded parts of southwest Colorado on Sunday, the Durango Herald reported. The National Weather Service in Grand Junction called it "a particularly dangerous situation" in a flood warning that, as of Sunday night, was set to run until 4:15 p.m. Monday. La Plata County's sheriff temporarily closed all county roads Sunday afternoon, and by evening areas around Durango, Ignacio and Bayfield were under evacuation orders. Closer to home, provisional U.S. Geological Survey data show the San Miguel River's flow near Placerville more than tripled on Sunday. The state says anyone who needs shelter can call 2-1-1.

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.
