ST. GEORGE Monsoonal moisture brought heavy showers and storms across central and southern Utah on Sunday.

And the threat for storms will continue into early Monday morning. The northern half of the state will see a chance for a storm late Sunday night, with increasing chances on Monday and Tuesday, according to the KSL Weather Team. 

 

On Sunday, the National Weather Service out of Salt Lake City reported that a flood advisory had been issued for parts of St. George. Heavy rain was possible with this advisory, which was in effect until 6:15 p.m. Minor flooding was expected in the impacted area. Between a quarter and a half inch of rain had already fallen in portions of St. George.

 

In certain areas in St. George, water was covering the highway.

Once the moisture arrives in the northern part of the state, the KSL Weather Teamsaid the Wasatch Front could receive up to a half inch of rain from the storm.

Later in the week, drier conditions will return to the state with temperatures remaining close to normal. Highs will be in the low 90s.
