Today’s expected Wx: A slight chance of showers between 11am and noon, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 48. Northeast wind 6 to 9 mph becoming south southeast in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Tonight: Rain showers likely before 1am, then rain and snow showers. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 34. East wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

This just in from a FB post from Jaxle Rose via FoCo Kayaking: “Do not kayak the Little South Fork Cache la Poudre.”

If you want his full dissertation on the ordeal, check out FoCo Kayaking on the FB, but the take away is- there will be NO Little South boating of any kind this year… PERIOD. The log debris from the Cameron Peak Fire is quite extensive and will only continue to get worse every rain event we have. He described over 42 portages and a total of 60 seconds of actual floating on the 12 mile stretch.

So, Wright OFF the Little South this year and find some other creek to paddle. Preferably one that is not in or below the burn scar of the CPF.

Thank you Jaxle for the report.
