Western Colorado saw flash flooding near several burn scars as rain and thunderstorms continued throughout the state Wednesday, causing I-70 to be closed for several hours.

I-70 opened back up at around 8:20 p.m. on Wednesday after Colorado Department of Transportation crews removed two small mudslides a few inches thick flowed from the roadway, the department tweeted.

At around 2:15 p.m., the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the Grizzly Creek fire burn scar after they detected thunderstorms near Glenwood Canyon they said could or were already producing flash floods.

Shortly after, I-70 was closed down again near Glenwood Canyon for the second day in a row, marking the latest in a series of closures for the highway as summer storms and rains have pounded the area and caused a slew of traffic-blocking mudslides.

I-70 is still closed as of around 6:45 p.m., but the flash flood warning for the area is now a watch.

In southern Colorado, a flash flood warning was issued just before 4 p.m. for Huerfano and Costilla counties after thunderstorms were detected near the Spring Creek burn scar. That warning will last until 7 p.m.

The weather service said other thunderstorms may develop in the area over the Junkins and Hayden Pass burn scars near Westcliffe until 6 p.m., prompting a flash flood watch for that area.

Denver residents also saw a thunderstorm pass through the city and through Aurora, prompting a flood advisory to go into effect for urban and small streams.

In Colorado Springs, showers and thunderstorms are forecast until 11 p.m., and there is a chance that rainy weather could continue into the weekend.
