HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER CO
950 PM MDT SAT APR 18 2009
...RIVERS AND CREEKS RUNNING HIGH IN NORTHEAST COLORADO...
DUE TO THE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE THAT FELL FROM THE RECENT 
STORM...RIVERS AND CREEKS IN THE FOOTHILLS AND URBAN CORRIDOR ARE 
EITHER PRESENTLY RUNNING HIGH OR WILL RUN HIGH AND FAST ON SUNDAY
AS TEMPERATURES WARM AND SNOW BEGINS TO MELT.
ALTHOUGH SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS POINT...
MANY OF THE SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS WILL APPROACH BANK FULL  
LEVELS AND MAY ENCROACH INTO THE LOWER LYING AREAS NEAR THE STREAMS 
SUCH AS BIKE PATHS...FIELDS AND PASTURES.  
PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID AREAS NEAR FAST MOVING STREAMS FOR THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF DAYS.  DO NOT USE BIKE PATHS THAT ARE COVERED WITH WATER.  
THE SAFEST THING TO DO IN THESE SITUATIONS IS TO AVOID THESE HIGH 
AND FAST MOVING WATERS ALTOGETHER. 
WITH WARM TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON MONDAY...THE SOUTH 
PLATTE RIVER WILL ALSO LIKELY RESPOND TO THE INCREASED RUNOFF WITH 
SOME AREAS OF THAT RIVER ALSO APPROACHING ALERT LEVELS. 
STAY TUNED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OR OTHER LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THESE HIGH WATER LEVELS.
