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.
The National Weather Service’s ‘hydrologic outlook’ advisory states that there is a high chance of localized flooding in mid-elevation watersheds as the state warms up.
The advisory was issued about 1:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon, and warns of “significant rises” in waterways due to increased snowmelt. The service urged caution as cold water in rivers, creeks and streams will be running fast — so even brief periods of time in the water could lead to hypothermia. In Salt Lake City, forecasters expect a sunny weekend with a peak high of 83 degrees on Monday. Temperatures then cool off with a chance of showers on Thursday and a forecasted high of 70 degrees.
Emigration Creek and Red Butte Creek are the city’s main focuses right now, said Brian McInerney, a hydrologist consulting with the city on flooding. City Creek, Big Cottonwood, Mill Creek and Little Cottonwood canyons have such large snowpack that it will “take a while” before they yield meltwater, he added.
