- Recent wildfire burn scars could fuel dangerous flooding during Colorado's monsoon season
Recent wildfire burn scars in Colorado could increase dangerous flooding risks during monsoon season as heavy rainfall runs off quickly from fire-damaged soil. The National Weather Service warns that even half an inch of rain can trigger flash floods and debris flows in affected areas, with closures of major highways like I-70 and Highway 145 already reported due to mudslides.
