Utah’s high temperatures over the last few days have accelerated snowmelt and fueled flood risk, with flood warnings and watches still in effect across much of the state.
Most of Utah is under a ‘hydrologic outlook’ advisory as Salt Lake City prepares to hit the early 80s early next week, according to the National Weather Service.
Even with temperatures in southwest Utah expected to hit the mid-90s this weekend, Santa Clara Mayor Rick Rosenberg is relatively confident his and other cities in Washington County will avoid the major flooding that has occurred in some areas along the Wasatch Front.In explaining why he remains confident, Rosenberg sums it up with one word – experience.
A new partnership with the State of Utah and a local company will allow residents to get a real-time look at flooding conditions across the state this spring.
