Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will
impact Utah this weekend bringing widespread rainfall totals ranging
from 2-4". Some highly localized amounts to 6-8" are also possible,
particularly across terrain-favored locations in southwestern Utah,
the Book Cliffs, and Bear River Range.
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle
Country, Central Mountains, Eastern Juab/Millard Counties, San
Rafael Swell, Sanpete Valley, Sevier Valley, Wasatch Plateau/Book
Cliffs, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and
Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central
Utah, Southern Mountains, Upper Sevier River Valleys, Western
Canyonlands, Lower Washington County, Southwest Utah and Zion
National Park. This also includes recent burn scars such as
Forsyth, Cottonwood, Silver King, France Canyon, and Monroe Canyon.
* WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, dry washes, slot canyons, and other low-lying and
flood-prone locations such as slickrock areas and recent burn
scars. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may
occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Anomalously high moisture is forecast to impact the region with
the arrival of the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel. While this
is expected to be a long duration rainfall event, scattered
instances of heavier rainfall rates are expected with stronger
storms yielding flash flooding concerns given saturated soils and
prior burn scars.

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.
