Extreme Weather

Flooding has been hitting the Four Corners region hard since last week. Evacuation orders remain in place for 150 residents in Montezuma Creek and Aneth, but some residents in Bluff can return home.

At the epicenter of concern on Friday sits Farmington, New Mexico, where 600 people have been evacuated. Utah, Colorado, and the Navajo Nation were also hit hard.

The Willow Wind RV Park and homes along Gould Wash were evacuated Thursday morning because of the floods. Much of southern Utah is under either a flood watch or warning through Thursday evening.

Central and southern Utah are at the most risk. In other news, Utah County confirmed the state's third human case of West Nile virus this year. It's a rare, more serious version of the illness.

The new Pew Research Center survey also found that most U.S. adults felt extreme weather events are more severe. Political party was a major factor in responses.

Utah will not be as affected by the hurricane as the original landfall locations, California and Mexico, but is expecting scattered showers and thunderstorms which could bring some localized flooding.
