| Episode Narrative |
The flash flooding threat began again in the middle of the month, with the largest flash floods in Capitol Reef National Park and along the Escalante River. Isolated large hail was reported with a couple of storms, and cloud-to-ground lightning struck a couple individuals. |
| Event Narrative |
Flash flooding occurred on the northern tributaries of the Escalante River, especially on North Creek and the North Fork of Birch Creek. This flooding eventually made its way down the Escalante, with a gauge along the Escalante quickly increasing to 1700 cfs. Note that flash flooding also occurred further downstream in Kane County. |
