Flash Flood — Kane, Utah

2025-09-28 · near Adairville, Kane, Utah

Event narrative

Heavy rain in the Paria River drainage resulted in the development and propagation of a flood wave. Approximately 2 miles below the White House campground a group of hikers required helicopter evacuation.

Wider weather episode

A fairly weak cutoff low slowly ejected northward through the area over the course of several days. This feature in combination with sufficient moisture created an environment that supported several days of shower and thunderstorm development. Some of these storms produced locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding, as well as some strong wind gusts.
