...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle
  Country, Central Mountains, Eastern Juab/Millard Counties, San
  Rafael Swell, Sanpete Valley, Sevier Valley, Wasatch Plateau/Book
  Cliffs, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and
  Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central
  Utah, Southern Mountains, Upper Sevier River Valleys, Western
  Canyonlands, Lower Washington County, Southwest Utah and Zion
  National Park. This also includes recent burn scars such as
  Forsyth, Cottonwood, Silver King, France Canyon, and Monroe Canyon.

* WHEN...Through Monday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, dry washes, slot canyons, and other low-lying and
  flood-prone locations such as slickrock areas and recent burn
  scars. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may
  occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Anomalously high moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm
    Rachel will continue to impact the region. While this is expected
    to be a long duration rainfall event, scattered instances of
    heavier rainfall rates are expected with stronger storms yielding
    flash flooding concerns given saturated soils and prior burn
    scars.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Western
  Millard and Juab Counties, Bear Lake and Bear River Valley, Cache
  Valley/Utah Portion, Eastern Box Elder County, Great Salt Lake
  Desert and Mountains, Northern Wasatch Front, Salt Lake Valley,
  Tooele and Rush Valleys, Utah Valley, Wasatch Back, Wasatch
  Mountains I-80 North, Wasatch Mountains South of I-80, Western
  Uinta Basin and Western Uinta Mountains. This includes recent burn
  scars such as Rocky Canyon.

* WHEN...Through Monday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and recent burn scars. Flooding may occur in poor
  drainage and urban areas. Extensive street flooding and flooding of
  creeks and rivers are possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel
    will continue to spread into northern Utah producing a prolonged
    rainfall event. In particular, moisture interacting with a
    frontal boundary across far northern Utah may yield locally
    heavier rainfall totals compared to other locations. As a result,
    areal flooding is possible across northern Utah.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

to take action should flooding develop.
