...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT TODAY FROM NOON UNTIL 9 PM MDT...
.ABUNDANT SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST UTAH AND SOUTHWEST COLORADO TODAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO

POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING INCREASES. SATURATED SOILS ALSO
RAISE THE LIKELIHOOD FOR MUD AND ROCK SLIDES IN AREAS OF STEEP
