Hydrologic Outlook issued October 29 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT Low pressure begins to dig southward from the PACNW on Friday, tapping into a fetch of Pacific moisture that will evolve into an atmospheric river streaming into the Desert Southwest this weekend. Showers and thunderstorms develop on Friday and Saturday across the region. Lighter rainfall totals Friday and Saturday will reflect, initially lower, moisture. However, a few thunderstorms could produce impactful downpours on saturated soils left over from last weekend's historic rainfall. Deeper moisture develops Saturday night and early Sunday. This is expected to produce heavier and more widespread rainfall across southeast UT and southwest CO Sunday and Monday, mostly below 10000 feet. While rivers are forecast to remain below action stage, a growing concern lies in the potential for runoff around saturated hillsides in the region. This could produce rock, mud, and debris flows onto roadways, as well as flash flood prone burn scars, washes, slot canyons, and arroyos. Early estimates predict an area of 1 to 2 inches of new rainfall for portions of southeast UT and southwest CO. This is a preliminary forecast that hinges on slight shifts in a strong moisture plume impacting the region. It also attempts to capture the most statistically likely outcome, despite stronger and weaker outlier predictions. Outdoor enthusiasts, motorists, and residents of recent flood impacted areas are encouraged to remain abreast of the developing forecast in the coming days.
About
The Ledge Campground encompasses five distinct camping areas (Ledges A through E) with 105 individual sites nestled in a dramatic red rock canyon along Kane Creek Road, approximately 8.5 miles from Moab. The scenic desert valley setting draws ATV, UTV, and 4WD users who come for the exceptional network of nearby trails, including Amasa Back, Hymasa, Hunter Canyon Rim, Pritchett Canyon, Jackson, and Captain Ahab. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets but no potable water or hookups. Sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis at $20 per night, payable by cash or check at the campground. Each site accommodates up to 10 people and two vehicles, with a 14-night stay limit per 30-day period. A reservable group site accommodating 15-30 people is available separately through Recreation.gov. The access road is paved for the first 4 miles from Moab before becoming gravel with two shallow wash crossings and one short, steep switchback. Spring and fall are the ideal seasons; summer brings extreme heat with minimal shade.
Directions
From central Moab (Center St. and Main St.), head south to Kane Creek Road between Burger King and McDonald's. Turn right (west) on Kane Creek Road and continue straight at the stop sign. The road is paved for 4 miles, then becomes gravel with two shallow wash crossings and one short, steep switchback. The campground is approximately 8.5 miles from Highway 191.
