A low pressure system over the Pacific Northwest will drop southward
into Northern California Sunday. This storm system will draw abundant
atmospheric moisture associated with Tropical Storm Rachel northward
into Eastern Nevada, resulting in the likelihood of rain Sunday and
Sunday night. Slow storm motions and/or training cells may produce
heavy rainfall and localized flooding.
Of particular concern are recent, large burn scars, including the
Ward fire south of Ely and the Oxley fire north of Wells. Numerous
smaller burn scare from this fire season also remain vulnerable to
flash flooding and debris flow.
Residents near burn scars should have multiple ways to receive Flash
Flood Warning and be prepared to act quickly. Travelers and
recreationists should also remain alert and consider alternate plans.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like
storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to
heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread
rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3
inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah
mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning.
Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally
dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by
Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to
flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of
heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near
rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely
monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with
outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways
across Utah should consider alternate plans.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through
at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional
rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that
receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra
sensitive to any additional rainfall.
