Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will
impact Utah this weekend bringing widespread rainfall totals ranging

particularly across terrain-favored locations in southwestern Utah,
the Book Cliffs, and Bear River Range.

Desert and Mountains, Northern Wasatch Front, Salt Lake Valley,
Tooele and Rush Valleys, Utah Valley, Wasatch Back, Wasatch

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel
will move into northern Utah this weekend producing a prolonged
rainfall event. In particular, moisture interacting with a
frontal boundary across far northern Utah may yield locally
heavier rainfall totals compared to other locations. As a result,
areal flooding is expected across northern Utah this weekend.
