Zion National Park closed the Narrows and all slot canyons Monday night after the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning.
Radar indicated that there was a thunderstorm producing heavy rain over the northern fork of the Virgin River, north of Zion National Park, according to a post from the park on Facebook. The storm had produced heavy rainfall for more than two hours as of 9 p.m., and more than 3 inches of rain was estimated to have fallen over a "wide area."
Additional information on the flash flood warning and forecast is available at the National Weather Service website.
