Yuma County, California (KYMA, KECY) – Flood warnings continue to be issued as the levee of the Gila River continues to swell.
Flood warnings from the Painted Rock Dam to the Colorado River were extended multiple times, lasting more than a month.
The National Weather Service said discharges have been reduced, but discharges continue from the Painted Rock Dam upstream.
However, it will take some time before all the water is cleared from the channel.
Built country roads will remain closed until the water has completely emptied the channel.
The flood warning is scheduled to end on Tuesday, May 30, but is expected to extend further.
