Larimer County Road 44H (Buckhorn Rd) is currently impassable from 1 mile east of Moose Ridge Road (MM 25) to Forest Road 129 (MM 31) due to flooding. Please use alternate routes and use caution in the area. If Buckhorn Rd is your only access point manager.everbridge.net/pub/1…
Potential flooding possible in the area.
Ever been tempted to drive through flooded roads because the vehicle ahead of you made it? Did you know over half of flood related deaths occur in automobiles?
Avoid becoming a statistic by never crossing a flooded road. Find an alternate route, or wait til water recedes. #COwx
There is a limited flash flood threat at noon today for the Cameron Peak Fire burn scar, increasing to moderate threat after 3pm. Severe weather expected throughout the rest of the week.
⚠️Flash Flood Threat Today⚠️
Afternoon and evening thunderstorms will be capable of producing very heavy rain. Burn areas, urban locations, small creeks and streams, and low lying areas will be most vulnerable.
🚫Never drive through flooded roads. #COwx
