Weather Story

Created by the NWS Grand Junction WFO

Wet weather returns to the region this weekend as Pacific moisture moves in from the southwest. Look for showers and thunderstorms from late this afternoon through Saturday leading to localized flash flooding in the heavier storms. Then widespread heavy rain is possible Sunday with a Flood Watch in effect on and south of the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado and the La Sal Mountains in southeastern Utah. High mountain passes along and south of I-70 may see winter driving conditions Sunday night and Monday.
