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.
