Additional weather warnings continue through today. In Duchesne County, widespread moderate to heavy rainfall are expected, along with some strong to severe thunderstorms. Flash flooding, hail, and strong gusty winds affected areas including Rockcreek and Blind Stream on Wednesday. Some areas of high elevation are expected to receive snow with showers and thunderstorms continuing through at least Thursday, maintaining some potential for locally heavy rain.
