The heavy rainfall poses a significant flood risk, particularly in low-lying areas, regions with burn scars, and areas with larger streams. The San Juan Mountains and the Aspen Acres burn area are under moderate to high flood threats. While the rain may provide some relief to drought-stricken areas, excessive rainfall on dry ground could lead to flash flooding rather than alleviating drought conditions. The western portions of Colorado, which are most affected by drought, are expected to see less precipitation.
