GREELEY, Colo. — The City of Greeley is asking residents to “stay clear” of the downtown area as crews work to clean up from a storm that brought large hail and heavy rain which flooded streets and prompted road closures.

Other downtown roads are open and clear, however, SKY9 was over many neighborhoods which showed numerous flooded intersections.
A temporary shelter at the Greeley Family FunPlex had been opened Tuesday night for anyone requiring shelter, according to a post from the city on the social platform X.
