As of Sunday, floodwaters began to recede in southwest Colorado but evacuations and road closures remained active across several counties where water continued to spill over riverbanks. A catastrophic flooding warning remained in effect along the San Juan River in Colorado's Montezuma County and Utah's San Juan County until 6 a.m. Tuesday. Many residents remained trapped Sunday despite declining water levels.
