Flood Watch

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible across much of central and southern Utah between Monday morning and early Tuesday morning.

* WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, Central Mountains, San Rafael Swell, 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 and Zion National Park.

* WHEN...From Monday morning through early Tuesday morning.

* 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 including Cottonwood, Widemouth 2, France Canyon, Monroe Canyon, Forsyth, and Silver King.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Deep moisture originating from tropical systems in the Eastern Pacific draws into portions of central and southern Utah on Monday. Concurrently, an upper-level system traversing the Desert Southwest will result in ample instability that will produce widespread heavy rainfall across the area. Isolated heavier storms will be capable of producing rainfall rates in excess of 1 inch per hour at times. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
