The sudden burst of rain led to a small stream flood advisory for parts of north center La Plata County until 7 p.m.<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Shane Benjamin\/Durango Herald<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><p>The National Weather Service issued a small-stream flood advisory until 7 p.m. Monday for northern Durango and a portion of north-central La Plata County.<\/p>\n<p>North Durango received six-tenths of an inch of rain in 20 minutes shortly before 3 p.m. Monday, said Julie Malingowski, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.<\/p>\n<p>The deluge sent water and debris running across parts of Main Avenue. The storms were expected to continue into the evening, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy precipitation on top of dry, brittle ground can result in flash flooding, Malingowski said. Likewise, over-saturated ground can cause the same effect, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEither it hasn\u2019t rained in a long time, so it just rolls right off the ground, or if it has been raining for days, and we have the opposite problem, then the ground gets super-saturated and can\u2019t hold the water,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s all about the precipitation rate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forecasters are calling for another chance of thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon. But after that, it is back to hot and dry conditions into at least early next week, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo strong monsoonal signal at this time, over the next 10 days,\u201d Malingowski said. \u201cOverall, we are not anticipating the monsoon anytime in the next couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_shirttail\"><a href=\"mailto:shane@durangoherald.com\">shane@durangoherald.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six-tenths of rain fell in 20 minutes causing debris flows<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":69397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[88],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-69396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-weather-news"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69396"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=69396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
