...FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR THE COTTONWOOD BURN SCAR IN BEAVER COUNTY 
REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM MDT THIS EVENING FOR EAST CENTRAL 
BEAVER COUNTY...

At 641 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy 
rain over the Cottonwood Burn scar in Beaver County. Between 0.25 
and 0.6 inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or 
expected to begin shortly.

Excessive rainfall over the burn scar will result in debris flow 
moving through the Beaver Creek downstream towards the Grove area in 
Beaver City. The debris flow can consist of rock, mud, vegetation 
and other loose materials, but is expected to be largely muddy water 
and some tree debris.

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing
         flash flooding in and around the Cottonwood Burn scar in
         Beaver County.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of areas in and around
         the Cottonwood Burn scar in Beaver County.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Beaver.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Move away from recently burned areas. Life-threatening flooding of 
creeks, roads and normally dry washes is likely. The heavy rains 
will likely trigger rockslides, mudslides and debris flows in steep 
terrain, especially in and around these areas.

Move to higher ground now. Act quickly to protect your life.

Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
154 PM MDT Tue Jul 14 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms continue across Utah
  and southwest Wyoming today. Storms will be capable of producing
  isolated flash flooding across central and southern Utah and
  gusty outflow winds across northern Utah through this evening.

- Monsoonal moisture continues to overspread the region through
  the week, with chances for locally heavy rainfall becoming
  widespread by midweek with an elevated flash flood threat.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Heat subsides across the region today as the ridge
axis remains well east of our region and monsoonal moisture
continues to spread northward along the western periphery of the
high. Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to
build along the high terrain of Utah and southwest Wyoming this
afternoon, spreading northwestward through the evening. Deep
monsoonal moisture with PWATs in excess of an inch are currently
in place across western portions of central and southern Utah,
which will support a threat for locally heavy rainfall across the
area through this evening. Isolated areas of 1"+ per hour rainfall
rates are possible given these environmental conditions,
especially those areas that experience back- building and
training storms. Otherwise, slightly drier surface conditions
across northwest Utah will support a threat for gusty and erratic
outflow winds up to 50 mph for storms moving through this area.

Monsoonal moisture becomes more widespread across the entire
region on Wednesday; concurrently, steering flow will begin to
decrease aloft. As such, daily chances for widespread showers and
thunderstorms are expected through the remainder of the week, with
a gradually increasing risk for flash flooding, most notably
across southern Utah. WPC has placed most of the region in a
Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) for flash flooding starting
Wednesday, with areas of Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) emerging
Thursday and Friday. Main areas of concern continue to be recent
burn scars (especially the Cottonwood Fire), normally dry washes,
steep terrain, and slot canyons. Those with outdoor plans this
week should monitor the weather and consider alternate plans.

&&

.AVIATION...

KSLC...VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period. Monsoonal
moisture surging northward through the period will bring 2 distinct
periods of shower and thunderstorm activity to the SLC terminal. The
first will begin to push off the Wasatch around 23z. Winds with this
push should favor a southerly to southeasterly direction.
Thunderstorms will be decaying as they move off the terrain so
Thunder on the terminal is still a 30% probability, but opted for a
tempo to cover the higher certainty on strong winds. Then outflows
from thunderstorms in the West Desert will look to push through the
terminal around 06z. Wind should switch back to normal drainage
flows late tonight. Tomorrow should see an earlier switch to the
north and showers/thunderstorms hold off until after 00z.

REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING... VFR conditions will prevail at
area TAF sites through the TAF period. Showers and thunderstorms
will quickly develop over terrain and push off, potentially
impacting TAF sites south of I-80. Gusty and erratic winds will be
common with these. For areas in the West Desert, wind gust should be
strong enough to potential support areas reduced visibility due to
blowing dust.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Monsoonal moisture continues to spread northward
today, with widely scattered showers and thunderstorms developing
across the state this afternoon. Convective initiation will favor
the high terrain early this afternoon, with southeasterly flow
pushing any storms that develop north to northwest through the
evening. As such, greatest coverage is expected across the western
half of the state especially across central and southern Utah.
Deep moisture in place across central and southern Utah will
support a risk for locally heavy rainfall that will be capable of
producing wetting rains and isolated flash flooding mainly for
recent burn scars, normally dry washes, and steep terrain. Across
northern Utah where drier air is still in place at the surface,
storms will be capable of producing gusty and erratic outflow
winds to 50 mph. Moisture continues to increase across the state
through the remainder of the week, with daily chances for
widespread showers and thunderstorms continuing at least through
this weekend.
