Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Unpaved roads could become muddy and impassable. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Periods of heavy rainfall, associated with remnant moisture from Hurricane Polo, are expected to produce numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms. Heavy rain falling on saturated soils and burn scars could lead to localized flash flooding and rises on local rivers. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
Hydrologic Outlook issued September 25 at 2:21PM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT In the wake of today's precipitation, our attention will turn to the Eastern Pacific. Tropical moisture is anticipated to spread across the Desert Southwest early next week, drawing moisture from a pair of Hurricanes; Odalys and Polo. The forecast becomes increasing complex due to a closed low currently forecast to drive across the Southwest CONUS as Hurricane Polo approaches the Baja California Peninsula. Strong southerly winds ahead of the low are expected to pull tropical moisture towards eastern Utah and western Colorado as early as Monday morning. The challenge and uncertainty in our precipitation forecast increase as the week progresses and the low traverses our southern States. Excessive rainfall is most probable over AZ and NM, attm, but the northerly extent poses a threat to our southern San Juan river basins. Current forecasts suggests 1 to 3 inches of rain over Monday morning through Wednesday. At face value, rivers and tributaries will see a bump up due to said moisture. However, localized heavier amounts could result in minor flooding across the southern San Juan foothills and communities further downstream. Rivers have responded rapidly to recent rainfall due to saturated soils and increased runoff potential. Thus, prolonged periods of additional rainfall over these regions would trigger a similar response. The current precipitation forecast suggests larger peaks in several creeks and rivers than what has been observed over the previous 7 days. However, high end probabilistic rainfall amounts (i.e. above 90th percentile) may lead to rivers exceeding action stage to minor flooding. Most probable basins to see significant rises include; the Rio Blanco, San Juan, Piedra, Los Pinos/Vallecito Creek, and the Animas River Basins. Convective storms and periods of heavy rainfall fed from said tropical moisture could result in localized flooding impacts across the CWA, however, confidence decreases rapidly north of the San Juans. Please continue to monitor the forecast as these systems evolve. Especially for those who reside and/or plan to recreate in the southwest quadrant of the forecast area.
About
Morefield Campground occupies a high-elevation canyon about four miles from the Mesa Verde National Park entrance, surrounded by Gambel oak, native wildflowers, and frequent wildlife including deer and wild turkeys. The campground offers 267 sites: approximately 235 dry tent/RV sites, 15 full-hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer, and 17 group sites accommodating up to 25 guests each. Each individual campsite includes a picnic table, gravel tent pad, and fire pit or BBQ grill. Morefield Village provides a camp store with registration, food, and supplies, plus hot showers, coin-operated laundry, a dump station, and high-speed wifi throughout the campground loops. The Knife Edge Cafe serves seasonal breakfast, and a dog boarding kennel is available for those exploring areas where pets are prohibited. RVs and trailers up to 46 feet are permitted, though reservations are recommended for larger rigs and full-hookup sites. The campground enforces quiet hours from 10 PM to 6 AM and limits stays to 14 consecutive nights. Senior and Access pass holders receive camping discounts.
