A flood warning remains in effect for the Little Colorado River between Birdsprings and Leupp until 9 a.m. MST on Monday, October 26, 2026, according to the National Weather Service Flagstaff AZ. Meanwhile, a flood warning for the San Juan River in southeastern Utah is scheduled to remain in effect until 6 a.m. MDT on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
The flooding along the Little Colorado River is occurring near Birdsprings due to excessive rainfall. Water levels were reported at 16.94 feet at 1:00 p.m. MST, which is below the flood stage of 19.0 feet. While levels at Winslow have fallen below action stage and are expected to continue falling this afternoon, downstream impacts are expected to persist near Birdsprings through Monday morning. Officials warned that the river is expected to crest at Navajo Route 71 approximately 18 hours after the river crests at Winslow.
In Utah, moderate flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues in southeastern San Juan County and eastern Kane County. The San Juan River is forecast to continue rising and crest above moderate flood stage at Bluff later this evening into tonight. Downstream flooding is expected to continue to the terminus at Lake Powell through at least Tuesday morning. The river is currently running fast and high, making low-water crossings potentially impassable.
A coastal flood advisory has been issued for several California counties, including Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo. The advisory is in effect from 5 a.m. Sunday, October 25, 2026, through 1 p.m. PDT Thursday, October 29, 2026. High tides are expected to reach 7.5 to 8.0 feet, which is 1.0 to 1.5 feet above astronomical projections. This may lead to minor to moderate flooding in low-lying coastal areas, such as beach parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways, and could cause moderate to significant beach erosion.
