Flooding was again widespread across Washington County, with floods reported in Enterprise, Ivins, Santa Clara, St. George, and Springdale, among others. Most rivers and washes in the area experienced flooding, with particularly high flows in the Beaver Dam Wash and the Virgin River. Rock and mud slides were common across the area, temporarily closing several highways across the county. Flooding also occurred across much of Zion National Park, with the park closing for a period of time due to flooding and debris on roadways. This flooding included in the popular Narrows section of the park, where two hikers were stranded by the flood waters; one of the hikers escaped to safety, but the other, a 34-year-old male, died in the flood.
In Enterprise, many roadways flooded, and a few businesses were damaged by flood waters. In Ivins, a few homes near 600 S and 400 W experienced flooding. In St. George, damage was most severe at the Southgate Golf Course, with the majority of holes inundated with water.

Persistent moderate to heavy rainfall caused flash flooding along the Paria River, especially near Kodachrome Basin State Park. The flood waters undercut the road into the state park, and caused a bridge over the river to collapse. When this occurred, a couple visiting from Italy was crossing the bridge, and their car fell into the river. The car was carried about 150 yards downstream before flipping onto its top. The couple, a 47-year-old female and a 62-year-old male, managed to escape out of a back window before being rescued. Both were taken to the hospital to be treated for hypothermia. The loss of the bridge caused most of Kodachrome Basin State Park to remain closed for an extended period of time.
