DENVER—The National Weather Service is keeping an eye on several Colorado rivers that are causing minor flooding as the record snowpack melts.
Forecasters say the Arkansas River near Leadville will be around the minor flood stage for several days.
Denver meteorologist Kyle Fredin says the Cache La Poudre and Big Thompson Rivers will be the main sources of flooding in northern Colorado, but they don’t present an immediate threat.
Fredin says there will be some nuisance flooding near flat land in northern sections of Greeley along the Cache La Poudre.
Authorities also said the Eagle River west of the Continental Divide is forecast to cause some nuisance flooding onto its flood plain. Flood warnings are also in effect for the Colorado River, the Crystal River, and Blue River.
