Rain and rain on snow caused the The Little Colorado River in Navajo County to reach flood stage in the evening of March 22. The river gauge at Holbrook showed a sharp rise around 800 PM. The river dropped back down at that location around 800 PM on March 24. The river gauge at Winslow showed a sharp rise around 1000 PM on March 23 and dropped back down around 1100 AM on March 24. The Bird Springs Chapter House (downstream of Winslow) poste a video that showed flooding over Navajo Route 71 (impassable) at 1000 AM on March 24.
