LOGAN, Utah—
A flood watch has been canceled by the National Weather Service for parts of Northern Utah as cooler temperatures are preventing mountain snowpack from melting.
A flood warning, however, has been issued in Cache County for the Blacksmith Fork River, but no serious damage or injuries have been reported. The river has reached flood stage, but water receded a couple of inches Monday morning. Residents nearby the river have been bracing for weeks since the area has been forecasted to be one of the hardest hit by floods in the state. More rain has been forecasted for the area in the next coming days and crews are pumping water out of several areas in danger.
"At the Country Manor subdivision we have pumping operations going," said Craig Humphreys with Logan City Fire. "The residents are still pumping water to keep that from collecting in their basements and the city has some pumps running there also."Debris is also a concern for fire marshalls because it could hit bridges and back water up, leading to road closures. There are no reports of homes flooded at this time.
