The Colorado Department of Transportation is warning drivers to prepare for changing weather conditions as the monsoon season intensifies. Forecasters predict an active storm pattern this week, which may lead to flash flooding and other travel hazards.
Flash flood watches are in effect for several counties, including Pitkin County, where Aspen is located. The National Weather Service advisory notes that excessive runoff may cause flooding in low-lying areas, poor drainage zones, and urban areas.
Further details on the flash flood watches and potential travel hazards are available from the Colorado Department of Transportation and the National Weather Service.
