Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT

October 8th, 3:13 PM — 6:00 PM

ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

About

Altamont Group Campground is located high in the Wasatch Mountains along the 20-mile Alpine Loop Scenic Byway. At 7,400 feet elevation, the campground lies among dense stands of aspen, fir, and spruce trees adjacent to the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness Area. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant, and autumn brings spectacular fall colors. The campground offers a single group site that accommodates up to 100 people. Facilities include a large picnic shelter with multiple tables, a campfire circle, accessible flush toilets, potable water, and a paved parking area. Due to the narrow Highway 92 access, vehicles and trailers over 30 feet are not recommended. Popular nearby activities include hiking the 15-mile round-trip Timpooneke Trail to the Mount Timpanogos summit, visiting Timpanogos Cave National Monument, exploring the accessible boardwalks at Cascade Springs, and fishing at Tibble Fork and Silver Flat Reservoirs.

Directions

From Salt Lake City, travel south on I-15 to Alpine-Highland exit 284. Travel east on Highway 92 approximately 13 miles through American Fork Canyon, then 3 miles south on the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway. Campground is on the left.
