Areas from Trujillo to Arboles had 2″+ of rain yesterday resulting in mud slides and low level flooding. Thanks to CoCoRaHS observer Mike Dingman for sending us this photo yesterday.
Tuesday – 15 Sep 2026 – 9am
Much of Archuleta County got 0.50″ to 1.00″ rain in the last 24 hours. The southwest part of the county got hammered with 1.50″ to 2.50″.
More is on the way!
Tuesday wont be as active with just a few spotty storms. But those storms will be potent with isolated areas of heavy rain, small hail, gusty winds, and lightning.
Tuesday night into Friday morning is the main event. 1.50″ to 2.50″ is possible. It will be a long, steady rain with embedded strong storms causing brief periods of very heavy rain, small hail, gusty winds, poor visibility, and lightning.
Flash flooding, and flooding in low-lying areas and along smaller streams is possible. I do not expect the San Juan or Piedra rivers to get anywhere near flood stage. Remember: TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!

The weekend will be drier, but there is still a chance for a few spotty afternoon and evening storms.
