FARR WEST, Utah — Heavy storms have caused flooding in several areas of northern and central Utah on Wednesday, with Salt Lake City seeing impactful rainfall that more than doubled what the city had received all summer.
Videos and photos shared with FOX 13 News showed flooding in areas across the region, with many locations seeing knee-deep water. A large storm cell moved through Tooele and Salt Lake counties just after 2 p.m., bringing even more rain to what had already been a wet 24 hours.

North Ogden officials said the city had received 3.1 inches of rain in three hours on Wednesday, straining its sewer system. Residents were warned not to drain sump pumps into showers, bathtubs, toilets or sinks, and asked to avoid using washing machines, dishwashers and bathtubs for several hours to allow sewer systems to "catch up."
"We're not asking you to stop all sewer use," the city said. "Just please reduce where possible to help prevent further backups."
Early Wednesday morning, Ogden drivers dealt with flooding along Washington Boulevard and 2nd Street, although it was quickly cleared when debris was removed from a nearby storm drain. The Ogden City Fire Department was also sent to an area to help drain water that had accumulated in a park.
An Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued for the area, along with portions of Box Elder and Davis counties, and other areas in Weber County. The advisory has since expired.
