👀 Good day to stay indoors and away from slot canyons, normally dry washes, slickrock areas, and areas that have burn scars, especially if those burn scars are less than 5 years old.  During storms, don't let anyone sleep in a basement. Flooding can fill a basement in seconds.

❄️Did you know snowstorms can hit any time of year? In Oct. 1984, a lake-effect storm dropped nearly 2 feet of snow on the Salt Lake Valley — shutting down schools, roads & power. ⚡🚗🏫 Don’t get caught off guard! Stay prepared year-round 👉 @BeReadyUtah 💪

A Flood Watch is in effect for much of southeast Utah and southwest Colorado this evening through Saturday evening. Rainfall rates in excess of in inch per hour and widespread amounts over 1 to 2 inches for this event could lead to excess runoff in many vulnerable areas!
Potential for heavy rain Friday and Saturday. The highest local risk lies across southeast Utah and southwest Colorado where burn scars and other localized flooding is possible. Rock/mud slides may also occur from excess runoff along steep terrain.

Remnant tropical moisture will push into the area late Thursday. This moisture will linger through Friday before interacting with a cold front on Saturday that will bring widespread precipitation to most of the area. Flash flooding is possible across sensitive areas. #utwx #wywx

Most flood fatalities occur in vehicles, and it only takes 12 inches of water to sweep a car away. During a flood, small decisions like turning around and not driving through a flooded roadway, not driving around barricades, and delaying travel until conditions improve, can make a big impact on whether you keep your car...or even your life. Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Visit weather.gov/safety/flood for more safety tips.
