Summary

On October 30, 2026, authorities in Archuleta County issued mandatory evacuation orders for residents in low-lying areas near the San Juan River due to severe flooding risks. Following significant precipitation, including forecasts of up to three inches of rain, the National Weather Service issued flood alerts for the region. Officials warned that the river is projected to reach near-historic levels, potentially cresting between 16.9 and 17 feet. In response to the rising water, local authorities closed businesses and roads, established emergency shelters, and cautioned that rescue teams might be unable to reach individuals who remain in the affected zones.
