Moab

Water covering the Mill Creek Parkway beneath the Main Street bridge in Moab has closed that section of the trail, the City of Moab announced Thursday morning, the Times-Independent reported. A marked detour directs users around the closure, and the city urged people to follow the signs and avoid the area under the bridge. [1]

The city also asked people to stay away from creeks and creek banks as rain continues. A National Weather Service flood watch covering Moab and other parts of Grand County remains in effect through noon Friday, Oct. 23, with the agency warning that excessive runoff could flood creeks, streams and low-lying areas. Forecasters expect showers and possible thunderstorms in Moab on Thursday night and mostly sunny conditions Friday. [1]
