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

3:13 PM — October 9th, 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

Beulah Vista Yurt is the newest and largest yurt in the Bear River Outdoor Recreation Alliance (BRORA) system, located on the north slope of the Uinta Mountains in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The 24-foot diameter yurt accommodates up to 12 guests and sits at approximately 8,860 feet elevation, accessible via a 2.75-mile non-motorized trail with 474 feet of elevation gain from the East Fork trailhead. On clear days, the yurt offers stunning views of Mount Beulah from the front door. The yurt is equipped for backcountry comfort with bunk beds (no bedding provided), a wood-burning stove for heat with a stocked woodshed and axes, a propane cooking stove with fuel included, kitchen utensils and cookware, a dining table and chairs, and a hard-wired gas lantern. An outhouse is available nearby. There is no electricity or potable water; guests must pack in their own drinking water or filter from nearby sources. Access varies by season: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking in winter; hiking, biking, or ATV in summer. Snowmobiles are not permitted on the trail. The yurt operates year-round with winter reservations (December through April) opening on the last Monday of October and summer reservations opening in late April. BRORA membership ($20) is required in addition to the nightly rental fee.
