Heavy rain caused flooding of businesses along the Saint Vrain River in Lyons, south of Bohn Park. Several basements in Boulder County were reportedly flooded. Some flooding was also reported along Coal Creek, upstream of Erie. Road closures included the westbound lane of Arapahoe Road, between County Line Road and 119th Street.
Heavy rain, with radar estimates up to 8 inches northwest of Longmont, forced numerous road closures. The heaviest rainfall occurred from around Lyons eastward along the Little Thompson River Basin.
Continuous heavy rainfall produced flash flooding. Rainfall amounts up to this point ranged from 4 to 7 inches over central Boulder County. People were trapped as several major creeks flooded including: Coal Creek, Left Hand Canyon, Fourmile Creek and St. Vrain Creek. People were reportedly trapped on their roofs.
