Event narrative

Heavy rain and thunderstorms impacted the Halfway Hill Fire burn scar area during the afternoon hours. Subsequently, the Millard County Emergency Manager reported that there were heavy flows out of Copleys Canyon within the burn scar, with flows and debris across the main canyon road and into a campground. This required rock and debris removal.

Wider weather episode

Sufficient moisture continued to flow through the region in late July, leading to daytime convection most days. This convection was occasionally strong to severe, yielding localized strong wind gusts in addition to flash flooding.
