The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for most of southwest and central Utah that will remain in effect through 10 p.m., advising that 'excessive rainfall' may cause flash flooding.
The watches and advisories come as low-pressure systems continue to pump moisture in from Arizona Wednesday.
The system, Johnson said, has "better dynamics," meaning that there's a higher likelihood of high precipitation totals within a storm. While there's no guarantee any spot in Utah will receive rain, the areas that do receive downpours may get a heavy dose all at once, which is why there's an elevated risk for flash flooding.
