Flash flood warnings were issued Tuesday afternoon for wildfire burn scars in the Roaring Fork Valley and Glenwood Canyon but passed without much concern.
A flash flood warning was been issued for the Basalt Mountain and Lake Christine Fire burn area and expired at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Basalt Police Chief Greg Knott said that as of 4:35 p.m. there were no flooding or mudslide issues in the Basalt area. Only light rain fell on the Lake Christine burn scar in the El Jebel-Willits area, he said. There was heavier rain in the burn scar above downtown Basalt but no debris flow as of that time, he said. Rainwater was coming down some Hill District streets but nothing out of the ordinary.

The next phase of Tejay van Garderen’s life is about to begin. The past few weeks, however, he’s simply been able to enjoy not being a professional athlete for the first time since his teens.
“I’d say I’m still in that honeymoon phase of, ‘Yeah, let’s have fun and I don’t really have responsibilities,’” Van Garderen told The Aspen Times last week, “but I’m going to start working again with the team, being a coach and being a director. That’s going to pick up here pretty soon. It will probably be back to reality in a little bit.”
It’s monsoon season in the Roaring Fork Valley, but don’t let that put a damper on your plans to explore.
