This would be a problem in arroyos, areas of steep terrain, and burn scars. Discussion...Satellite and radar imagery show showers and thunderstorms building across portions of the UT terrain east of an upper level shortwave moving across NV. Precipitable water values of 0.7-1.1" lie across the region. SPC mesoanalyses show ML CAPE rising to over 500 J/kg in pockets and CIN eroding. Light southwest flow should keep convection generally constrained to the mountains, though there could be a little creep downhill to the west and southwest, towards areas of developing instability in the valleys. The available moisture and instability could lead to rain totals to 2" an hour, which would be most problematic in arroyos/dry washes, areas of steep terrain, and burn scars.=20 Issues are expected to continue through the afternoon hours.
