BOUNTIFUL, Utah — The National Weather Service issued official Flood Advisories in Davis, Salt Lake and Tooele counties Saturday afternoon due to heavy rainfall.
Some areas have already seen some flooding — standing water was seen on traffic cameras operated by the Utah Department of Transportation on roads in Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake and Bountiful. Some cars even appeared to have stalled.
Around 3,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers in the Salt Lake area lost power at one point in the afternoon, but the company said it was all restored by 6:30 p.m.
Little Cottonwood Canyon was closed at mile 6 due to flooding, which left debris scattered across the highway. It has since been reopened.

Bountiful City Police also informed residents that sandbags are available due to the "hazardous conditions" created by the rain. Sandbags can be picked up at the city's Streets Department building, located at 950 S. 200 West.
The police department later gave an update on Twitter, saying: "It appears as though all major issues related to the heavy rain have been addressed. We’re happy to report no traffic accidents during the mess, so great job everyone!"
Residents have also been sharing photos and videos of the weather in their neighborhoods on the "Utah's Weather Authority" Facebook group.
