...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

The Flood Watch continues for

* A portion of southern Utah, including the following areas, 
  South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, and Utahs Dixie and 
  Zion National Park.

* From this afternoon through Sunday afternoon

* A plume of subtropical moisture will bring a period of heavy 
  rainfall below 7500 feet across southwest Utah. 

* Significant rises are expected on area waterways, particularly 
  in smaller streams and drainages, with flooding possible. 
  Mainstem river flooding is not expected. Smaller basins in 
  steep terrain, dry washes, slot canyons and urban areas with 
  poor drainage will be most susceptible to flooding. Life- 
  threatening flooding is possible in slot canyons. Travel may 
  be impacted on back country roads that cross dry washes. Those 
  planning to engage in outdoor activities should monitor the 
  forecast and make contingency plans. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
