Flash Flood — Jul 20, 2017
Subtropical moisture continued to flow northward across the region and led to strong thunderstorms, some with heavy rainfall and hail.
Flash Flood — Aug 26, 2014
Heavy rainfall in northeast Utah creating flash flooding from runoff in the John Jarvie Ranch area.
Flash Flood — Sep 17, 2013
The weather pattern of high pressure over the southeast states and an upper trough along the west coast allowed another surge of monsoonal moisture to move into eastern Utah. Cooling temperatures aloft allowed large hail to form in some of the stronger storms, while heavy rain and some flash flooding also occurred.
Flood — Jul 3, 2011
High releases were necessary for water control on Flaming Gorge Reservoir which created high flows downstream of the dam through early July.
Flash Flood — Jul 22, 2008
