What the National Weather Service wrote

Rainfall coupled with rapid melting of low elevation snowpack on top of frozen and saturated soil led to widespread flooding. Many county roads and large sections of agricultural land were flooded. County Road 1100 East was washed out at the Deep Creek crossing and many other roads were closed and severely damaged. Snow and ice filled canals caused water to overflow canal banks and contribute to the flooding.

The wider storm

Strong Southwesterly flow behind a warm front spread heavy rain across most of the intermountain west. Flooding occurred in most of South Central Idaho.

Began near (twf)twin Falls Arpt (42.4800, -114.4800).
