“Some locations that will experience flooding…”
You mean “Some locations that could experience flooding…”
There is a very big difference in the reporting.
SteveSGU, your comment prompted me to check the actual advisory. Typically our language doesn’t change much from theirs on these weather alerts, and it did indeed seem strange that the reporter would’ve worded it that way. However, sure enough, the National Weather Service says “will” twice in their advisory.

Having said that, I’ve lived in Southern Utah long enough that I agree with you. There is rarely a guarantee of rain. I’ve changed it. Of course, now that the advisory has for the most part passed, it would be interesting to know if they were right in their assessment 🙂
