UPDATE 11:00 AM: The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for portions of southern and central Utah from Sunday afternoon to late evening.

According to the NWS, 9 out of the eleven national parks in southern Utah are under “probable” conditions for flash floods, meaning that some slot canyons, dry washes, and small streams are expected to experience flash flooding.

Canyonlands National Park and Grand Cluch are under “possible” conditions, which means they may experience flash flooding.

According to the NWS, northern Arizona is expected to receive widespread thunderstorms and heavy rain that could lead to flash flooding.


SALT LAKE CITY — The National Weather Service predicts more thunderstorms and flooding in Utah from Sunday afternoon to late evening.

According to the NWS, monsoon moisture will be more prevalent in central and southern Utah. Areas with burn scars, slot canyons, and dry washes are expected to experience flash flooding.

On Saturday, Kane, San Juan, and parts of Washington County were under flash flood warnings and should be prepared for more.

The NWS also predicts the state’s western half will experience strong to severe storms with gusty winds, hail, and heavy rain.
