Yesterday's Flood Watch has been extended for all of Gunnison County until 12:00 a.m. September 1st.

https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=COZ012&warncounty=COC051&firewxzone=COZ293&local_place1=10%20Miles%20NW%20Gunnison%20CO&product1=Flood+Watch&lat=38.6668&lon=-107.0317

🔹Monsoonal moisture will remain across the area today and will
support thunderstorms and showers with heavy rainfall across the
watch area.
🔹Several rounds of heavier rain are expected
increasing the chance for flash flooding, especially in our more
susceptible areas.

A Flood Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding. It does not mean flooding will occur, but it is possible, and you should be prepared.

La alerta de inundaciones de ayer se ha ampliado a todo el condado de Gunnison hasta las 12:00 de la madrugada del 1 de septiembre.

🔹La humedad monzónica se mantendrá hoy en toda la zona y
favorecerá la formación de tormentas eléctricas y chubascos con lluvias intensas en toda la
zona de alerta.
🔹Se esperan varias oleadas de lluvias más intensas,
lo que aumenta el riesgo de inundaciones repentinas, especialmente en nuestras zonas más
vulnerables.

Se emite una alerta de inundación cuando las condiciones son propicias para que se produzcan inundaciones. Esto no significa que vayan a producirse inundaciones, pero es posible, por lo que debe estar preparado.
