Flood advisory issued for Colorado rivers
DENVER (AP) — The National Weather Service says rivers in Colorado are running high with snowmelt and rainfall.
The weather service issued flood advisories for the Cache La Poudre and South Platte rivers after more than two 2 inches of rain fell Monday.
The weather service said the North Platte rivers are rising and forecast to rise above flood stage on Monday night.
Weld County Undersheriff Margie Martinez says the Poudre is over its bank in spots, but there are no reports of major flooding. She expects the Platte in northern Colorado to start running higher as rain from the Denver area flows that way.
Meteorologist Jim Kalina says snowmelt and rain are leaving several rivers running high Monday in Jackson and Grand counties because of snowmelt and rainfall. No major problems have been reported.
