OGDEN, Utah — Drivers are being told to use extra caution getting around Ogden on Wednesday, as some intersections in the city have begun to flood following a morning rainstorm.

Utah Department of Transportation cameras currently show Washington Boulevard and 2nd Street flooded with at least a foot of water in some places. Despite warnings, drivers still attempted to make it through the flooded intersection.

A person was later seen on camera removing debris from a drain at the intersection, quickly clearing the road of any standing water.

An Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory has been issued until 1 p.m. for the area, along with portions of Box Elder and Davis counties, and other areas in Weber County.

"Ponding on roads and minor flooding in urban areas with poor drainage is likely," the Salt Lake City office of the National Weather Service advised.

Interstate 15 from West Haven to Corinne is also under the flood advisory, which is featured in the map below, with the original end time that has since been extended until 1 p.m.
