A wet May continued across the Mountains <strong>and</strong> Eastern Colorado as streams <strong>and</strong> rivers maintained at bankfull or slightly above.<br />
From the 27th through the 31th, a cool period including light morning showers <strong>and</strong> moderate to heavy afternoon showers <strong>and</strong><br />
thunderstorms, pushed river levels over the banks causing minor flooding. Rivers such as Boulder Creek, Cache la Poudre, South<br />
Platte, <strong>and</strong> the St. Vrain experienced flooding confined to meadowl<strong>and</strong>s, bike paths, <strong>and</strong> roads near streams <strong>and</strong> other low lying<br />
areas. No significant property damage had been reported with crop damage unknown. A few head of livestock had perished<br />
in high waters in Weld County. Flooding in Boulder County again washed out some major thoroughfares near Lyons <strong>and</strong><br />
prompted the evacuation of four residential blocks in Lyons. The highest river levels since 1983 arrived to a stretch of the<br />
South Platte River between Greeley to Kersey (Confluence of the Cache la Poudre <strong>and</strong> South Platte Rivers) along with a portion<br />
of the Cache la Poudre River from Fort Collins to Greeley. The high waters were the result of significant rains from the last two<br />
weeks <strong>and</strong> especially the last five days over the South Platte Drainage Basin. Due to the much below normal temperatures<br />
statewide <strong>and</strong> additional snowfall in the mountains, very little snow melt had<br />
