One more day of monsoons expected, possible flooding at Utah’s Big Five, weather service says

SALT LAKE CITY — The Nation Weather Service said there is at least one more day of monsoons possible across most of Utah and southwest of Wyoming.

After Sunday, the weather service expected much drier weather ahead.

KSL Meteorologist Kristen Van Dyke said:

“Showers and storms are once again developing across the area. Storms will be heavy and flood watches are in effect for the mountains in northern Utah and extend into southern Utah as well. Storms will weaken overnight and clouds may linger. Sunday will bring a chance for more t-storms with highs in the 80s across northern Utah. By Monday, high pressure shifts closer in, and that will bring drier, hotter weather to northern Utah.”

Last week several parts of Utah experienced heavy rains that flooded some homes and damaged roads. Saturday night Tooele County authorities issued an evacuation order in Soldier Canyon after reports of flash flooding.

Authorities closed Soldier Canyon.

With Sunday’s wet forecast, flash flooding is possible at the national park in southern Utah.

The National Weather Service advised visitors at the parks to check the forecast ahead of time before going into any of the slot canons.

There is an increased risk of flash flooding for southern Utah National Parks and recreation areas. Make sure to check in with local visitor centers or ranger stations before heading out and have a plan if threatening weather approaches.
