Ogden, Utah — The National Weather Service has issued a warning for isolated flash flooding across central and southern Utah from Sunday, June 1, through Tuesday, June 3. Authorities advise residents and visitors to remain vigilant as widespread heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast to impact the region.
The weather service indicated that marginal flash flooding may occur in vulnerable areas such as slot canyons, normally dry washes, and recently burned zones. These locations are especially prone to rapid water accumulation during heavy rainfall events.
Central and southern Utah are anticipated to experience the highest risk, with precipitation expected to begin late Sunday and persist through Tuesday. Northern Utah and southwest Wyoming are also at risk, with flash flooding possible between Monday morning and Monday night.
Officials urge recreationists to closely monitor weather updates and consider alternative plans to avoid hazardous conditions. Motorists are specifically cautioned against attempting to cross flooded backcountry roads, which can quickly become impassable and pose serious safety risks.
Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to stay informed and take necessary precautions as the region braces for potentially dangerous weather conditions.
