FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING
WHAT
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. WHERE
A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, San Rafael Swell, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, Western Canyonlands, Lower Washington County and Zion National Park.
