SALT LAKE CITY— Utah officials are monitoring flood risk as rain and snow fell along the Wasatch Front on Tuesday.
KSL Meteorologist Kristen Van Dyke said depending on the area, around a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain could fall in the valleys, while the mountains could see 6 to 12 inches of snow.
Despite that, National Weather Service Meteorologist Linda Cheng told KSL Newsradio that she doesn’t expect the patchy storm to have a huge impact on flood risk in Utah.
There is still a flood advisory in place for Emigration Creek until Wednesday at 9 a.m.
Van Dyke said rain should pick up more by noon Tuesday and that conditions will dry out by Wednesday.
Temperatures are not expected to reach 60 degrees again until Sunday.
