The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for Emigration Creek in Salt Lake City, which will remain in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday. There is “high confidence” that the creek will reach “minor flood stage” on Monday night.
People work to protect homes into the night along 1700 South in Salt Lake City from the rising flow of Emigration Creek through Wasatch Hollow Park on Wednesday, April 12, 2023. As rapid snowmelt and possible April showers stoke fears of heavy flooding in the Northern Plains, state officials are announcing flood response plans, and residents are assembling thousands — if not hundreds of thousands — of sandbags to combat floods themselves.
“Minor flood damage” is expected at homes and other structures along the stream, “including Hogle Zoo.” The zoo, which is monitoring the creek flow, will be open as usual on Monday. A forecast hydrograph from the National Oceans and Atmospheric Administration predicts a peak flow of 140 CFS on Tuesday night/early Wednesday and a peak o 141 CFS on Wednesday night/early Thursday.
