On Wednesday, Salt Lake City got the most rain it’s seen in a single day in more than six years — but not nearly as much as Magna and West Valley City.
Monsoon season hit the state hard. According to the National Weather Service, the state’s capital city got 1.31 inches of precipitation, recorded at the Salt Lake International airport. That’s the most since March 23, 2017, when 1.97 inches fell — the official record for a single day.
Salt Lake City’s Wednesday total was less than half of what hit nearby cities. Magna got a whopping 2.74 inches, and West Valley City was close behind with 2.67 inches of rain.And other parts of the state also saw a lot of precipitation: 1.66 inches in Dugway; 1.43 inches in Kaysville; 1.25 inches in Vineyard; 1.13 in Eagle Mountain; 1.04 inches in Vineyard; 1.01 inches in Genola; 0.99 in Fruit Heights; 0.96 in Hurricane and Nephi; 0.85 in Loa; 0.75 in Herriman; 0.71 in Bountiful; 0.
The rain brought minor flash flooding to many areas up and down the Wasatch Front, and flood watches remain in effect until 3 p.m. Thursday in the Salt Lake Valley, the northern Wasatch Front, the Wasatch Back, the Wasatch Mountains both north and south of Interstate 80, the Cache Valley, eastern Box Elder County, and the western Uinta Mountains.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected across northern Utah through Thursday morning, and some areas could see 1-2 inches per hour at times. The service warns that flash flooding is possible at all of Utah’s national parks and national monuments on Thursday — Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Glen Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Natural Bridges, Grand Gulch, San Rafael Swell and Zion. Both in northern Utah and at the national parks, the greatest danger is slot canyons, normally dry washes and areas near recent burn scars.
