A flood warning is in effect for southeastern Utah and southern Utah due to moderate flooding caused by excessive rainfall. The National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT issued the warning for southwestern San Juan County and eastern Kane County.
The flooding is occurring along the San Juan River, which is running fast and high. Officials warn that low-water crossings may be inundated and may not be passable. Residents and travelers are advised to stay away from river banks as they can become unstable and unsafe.
The San Juan River near Bluff showed a crest near moderate flood stage late Monday night into early Tuesday morning. The river is forecast to gradually decrease through the day. The threat of flooding is expected to continue downstream to the terminus at Lake Powell through late Tuesday morning to early Tuesday afternoon.
