What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy rain from thunderstorms washed out a large portion of State Road 211 near the intersection of Utah Highway 191. Significant water flowed across the highway. Vehicles were stranded in the area as a result.

The wider storm

High pressure remained centered over the Southern Plains which allowed for monsoon moisture to continue to stream into eastern Utah. This abundance of moisture resulted in scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region. Storms were slow moving and produced heavy rain. Portions of San Juan County experienced flash flooding which led to significant road damage.

Began near Monticello Arpt (38.0600, -109.3900).
