SOUTHERN UTAH, July 14, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — A flash flood watch is in place for parts of southeast Utah until Wednesday at midnight.

“The ingredients are in place for thunderstorms to produce heavy rain across southeast Utah today,” according to a tweet by the National Weather Service Salt Lake City. “Therefore, a flash flood watch has been issued from noon until 10 p.m. this evening west of Lake Powell and until midnight east of Lake Powell. Not a good day to explore slot canyons.”
