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.

The interaction between increasing tropical moisture and an
approaching midlevel area of low pressure will bring widespread rain
showers across a large portion of western Wyoming starting late
Saturday night. Given the high moisture content, some areas could
feature locally heavy rainfall and possibly lead to localized
flooding. Poor drainage areas, urban areas, and steep terrain will be
the most susceptible locations for this isolated flooding.
Many locations across western Wyoming could see 1 to 2 inches of
rainfall through Tuesday morning. Remember, if you encounter a
flooded roadway, Turn Around, Don't Drown!
