* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Excessive rainfall may result in flooding of slot
  canyons, normally dry washes, slickrock areas, recent burn scars,
  urban areas, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Rockslides and mudslides are possible in the mountains.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Tropical moisture will remain in place with scattered showers
    and thunderstorms developing ahead of and along a cold front
    moving through this evening and overnight. Any heavy rainfall
    rates on already saturated soils from previous rainfall could
    result in flash flooding across the region, especially for
    southeast Utah and southwest Colorado where moisture was more
    abundant. An increased risk of flash flooding will continue
    through late tonight across the watch area.
