Flood Watch issued September 29 at 11:22AM MDT until September 30 at 6:00AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of Colorado, including the following areas, Animas River Basin, Four Corners/Upper Dolores River, Paradox Valley/Lower Dolores River and Uncompahgre Plateau and Dallas Divide and southeast Utah, including the following areas, Canyonlands/Natural Bridges, La Sal and Abajo Mountains and Southeast Utah. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Flooding will be possible over burn scars, at low-water crossings, and along creeks, streams, washes, arroyos and other flood-prone locations. 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
Located in the stunning Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument, the Superbowl Group Site offers a remote camping experience surrounded by towering Wingate Sandstone cliffs and dramatic desert scenery. The site accommodates groups of 10 to 30 people with space for approximately 10 vehicles, making it well-suited for climbing parties, scout troops, or family reunions exploring this internationally renowned destination. The campground sits along Indian Creek, a typically dry wash lined with cottonwood trees that provide welcome shade in this high desert environment. Notable landmarks visible from the area include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and the iconic North and South Six Shooter Peaks. The site is positioned about 6.5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park's Needles District and 13.5 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock, an impressive panel of ancient petroglyphs. Facilities are basic but functional: a fire ring, picnic tables, a shade structure, and vault toilets. There is no drinking water, cell service, or hookups. Visitors should arrive fully prepared with adequate water supplies and their own firewood, as wood collection is prohibited. The Indian Creek area remains primitive and undeveloped, which is part of its appeal for those seeking solitude amid spectacular red rock country.
Directions
Turn west off U.S. Route 191 onto Utah State Route 211 and travel approximately 25.8 miles. Turn onto County Road 0574 on the south side of the highway. The campground is located 0.25 miles down the natural surface road.
