 Recent warm temperatures are producing rapid snow melt over the
higher terrain and the upper reaches of the Arkansas River, from the
headwaters near Leadville, down to Salida.  For these locations,
river levels are expected to remain below flood stage, however,
swift flows and cold water temperatures will be dangerous.  Stay
away from fast flowing water!
