SPRINGDALE, Utah — A Flash Flood Warning that was first issued for Zion National Park and other areas in southern Utah, has also ended in parts of Capitol Reef National Park.
The National Weather Service says the new warning is in effect until 4:15 p.m. for Garfield County and Wayne County, including Pleasant Creek and Burro Wash.
An earlier warning for Zion National Park expired at 1:45 p.m. Earlier Tuesday, an alert claimed "flash flooding is already occurring across many flood prone areas of Zion National Park," however, live camera feeds from the park did not show any current rain or flooding.
Impacts of potential flooding in the area include life-threatening flash flooding of slot canyons, creeks and streams and normally dry washes.
This Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Pleasant Creek and Burro Wash in Capitol Reef National Park through 4:15 pm. #UTwx https://t.co/XpU1R8OSuy
