SALT LAKE CITY — Wednesday comes with more thunderstorms and flash flood warnings for Utah.
Flash flooding closed parts of Zion National Park on Tuesday afternoon, and it created a mess when several homes were flooded in Southern Utah.
The National Weather Service outlined the specific areas where a fast-moving storm could cause major problems. They listed flash flooding as probable or possible around the five national parks, Glen Canyon, Grand-Staircase and San Rafael.
⚠️Flash Flood Potential is Elevated Today⚠️

Remember, slot canyons, slick rock areas and normally dry washes are the worst place to be during thunderstorms. #utwxpic.twitter.com/kE3RIjrv2C
Thunderstorms impact both southern and northern Utah
KSL Meteorologist Grant Weyman said thunderstorms were also in the forecast for the Wasatch Front. He said a lot of Utah could see heavy rain, in addition to lightning and thunderstorms in northern Utah.

"That means the possibility of localized flooding, even here along the Wasatch Front," he said in the live forecast on KSL TV.
He expected those to probably come in the early afternoon. "I think our window for the strongest storms will be between two and six in the afternoon," he said.
